Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB546 regulates residential rental property rate increases and establishes the Rent Control Advisory Board.

Pennsylvania SB546 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to limit the rate increases for residential rental properties. Lessors cannot increase the gross rental amount more than once during a twelve-month period unless specified in the rental agreement. Exceptions include new constructions, countywide reassessments, and changes in tenant income. The bill also establishes the Rent Control Advisory Board to oversee these measures, with members appointed by the Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
