An Act amending the act of April 6, 1951 (P.L.69, No.20), known as The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, in creation of leases, statute of frauds and mortgaging of leaseholds, providing for parking provisions in lease.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act to require landlords to explicitly disclose parking availability and any associated fees in written leases. It also prohibits landlords from changing or adding parking fees during the lease term. If a landlord fails to provide this information, tenants can file a complaint in a lower court, and if the violation is confirmed, the landlord must pay the tenant's parking costs for the lease duration. The changes directly affect residential landlords and tenants by increasing transparency regarding parking arrangements and offering a legal remedy for non-compliance.
