As the country continues to suffer from the recession, commercial landlords throughout Pennsylvania are being forced to deal with defaulting tenants who are thus unable to meet their financial lease obligations.

Most commercial lease agreements contain a contractual provision commonly known as a warrant of attorney, which allows a commercial landlord to obtain a judgment (either for money or possession) against a defaulting tenant without providing that tenant with the opportunity to object prior to the entry of that judgment. This contractual provision is thus a quicker, easier and less costly way of obtaining judgment against a defaulting tenant than pursuing claims through full-blown litigation.
