PennsylvaniaLandlords would have to spell out parking terms in leases
Pennsylvania landlords would have to explain parking availability and charges in leases and keep parking fees unchanged throughout the lease.
What it does
Landlords would have to say whether a lease includes parking and list any parking fee. They could not add or change parking fees during the lease.
Tenants could bring parking-rule complaints to a lower court. If it found a violation, the landlord would have to pay court-determined parking costs for the lease's duration.
Argument forTenants could plan their budgets more easily because leases would explain parking charges and keep those fees steady during the lease.
Argument againstLandlords could have to absorb rising parking costs because they could not change parking fees during a lease.
More detail
Landlords would state parking terms in leases and could not add or change parking fees during the lease. The requirements would cover landlords and tenants in Pennsylvania. If parking is provided, the lease would state whether a fee applies and its amount. The requirements would take effect 60 days after enactment.
Tenants could file a court complaint about violations of the parking rules. Complaints would go to a district justice, magistrate, or another court handling landlord and tenant matters, excluding a court of common pleas. Payment would depend on the court finding a violation and determining the tenant's parking costs. The complaint and payment provisions would take effect 60 days after enactment.
