Earlier this year, in Brown v. Premier Properties, 2014 Pa. Dist. & Cnty. Dec. LEXIS 64 (March 6, 2014), a trial court judge in Allegheny County highlighted the obligations of a landlord under the common law and now under the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to allow a tenant to retrieve her personal belongings after the tenant loses possession of the leased premises by way of eviction proceedings.
In Brown, the landlord obtained a judgment for possession from a magisterial district judge against a tenant, Carol Brown, who was renting an apartment from the landlord. When Brown did not appeal the ruling handed down by the judge, the landlord had a constable serve an order for possession and notice to vacate on the tenant.
