Additional Protections Under Amended Landlord and Tenant Act

Last month, I discussed how a trial court judge in Allegheny County in Brown v. Premier Properties, 2014 Pa. Dist. & Cnty. Dec. LEXIS 64 (March 6, 2014), highlighted the obligations of a landlord under the common law and 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. What I failed to mention last month is that, beginning Dec. 22, that portion of the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 will treat abandoned personal property radically differently and will afford additional protections to a tenant when his or her landlord fails to adhere to these statutory mandates regarding the tenant's personal belongings.
