Landlord Tenant Law

As a Landlord, you must follow certain procedures to evict someone from their residence.

 

As a tenant, you have certain rights under the Law.

 

After a Magieterial District Justice hearing, if the judge rules in favor of the landlord, the landlord will also most likely be awarded possession of the house or apartment.

 

If the tenant does not leave on the court ordered date, the landlord can take specific legal steps, but cannot use “self help” measures, which can be defined as matters outside of court orders.
