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 rental applications.

This bill update expands the types of properties where rental application fees can be charged to include residential properties, whereas the previous version only allowed fees for commercial or nonresidential properties. It also adds a new requirement that any fee charged must be reasonably related to actual administrative expenses and cannot be used as a general revenue source. Additionally, the bill is now reported from committee with an amendment, indicating it has moved forward in the legislative process.
