Erase In Legal Pennsylvania Evictions Forms For Free

The typical eviction process in Pennsylvania will take between 35-45 days to remove the tenant but may involve another thirty days in managing the tenant's personal property. Few Landlord/Tenant Complaints make it all the way to eviction. Oftentimes the goal is to be an attention-getter to correct a lease violation.

In Pennsylvania, the landlord can evict a tenant for violating the terms of the written lease agreement. The landlord must provide an eviction notice called a 15-Day Notice to Quit for at-will tenants and other tenants who have resided in the rental property for one year or less.

If the eviction case was only for nonpayment of rent, you may stop the eviction any time before you are actually evicted by paying the amount the Magisterial District Judge ordered, including court costs. This is called the right to pay and stay.

Though evictions typically stay on your public record for up to seven years, be reassured that they usually won't show up on your credit reports or directly affect your credit.

How Long Does an Eviction Stay on Your Record? An eviction itself doesn't appear on your credit report. However, any unpaid rent and fees could be sent to collections and remain on your credit report for seven years from the original delinquency date.

If a landlord chooses to file an eviction, they need to provide their tenants with at least ten days notice (in some cases more) and pay a $162 filing fee on average to the courts.
