Landlord tenant reform moves through Pennsylvania House
A proposed House Bill 402 seeks to define tenant rights to safe housing and landlords duties to repair within 48 hours of notice. It would require rent and service protections against retaliation, with 30 day notices and 14 day remedy periods, plus full owner contact disclosure and emergency reporting to authorities. The measure, backed by House Majority Leader K Leroy Irvis, echoes prior sessions and parallels broader reforms on investigation and immunity across state agencies.
