Eviction Notices in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's eviction process is governed by the Landlord and Tenant Act. For nonpayment of rent, landlords must serve a 10-day notice before filing for eviction in magisterial district court.
Pennsylvania courts require compliance with statutory notice and filing procedures. Self-help evictions are prohibited, and a landlord must obtain a court judgment before removing a tenant.
