Just cause eviction rules in Levittown, PA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Bucks County follows Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951. Evictions are filed in magisterial district courts. No just-cause requirement exists; landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with 15 days notice.
Evictions in Bucks County are handled through the PA magisterial district court system under 68 P.S. §250.501. For non-payment of rent, landlords must serve a 10-day notice to quit unless the lease waives notice. For other breaches or end of term, the standard notice is 15 days if the lease is one year or less, 30 days if more than one year. Bucks County has no just-cause eviction ordinance; no-cause non-renewal is permitted. After the notice period, the landlord files a Landlord/Tenant Complaint in magisterial district court (filing fee approximately $100 to $175). Hearings are scheduled within 7 to 15 days. Self-help evictions including lockouts and utility shutoffs are illegal under 68 P.S. §250.501 and expose landlords to tenant damages. Orders of possession issue 10 days after judgment, with constable-executed eviction following.
Illegal lockout or utility shutoff: tenant may sue for actual damages plus attorney fees. Improper notice: eviction complaint dismissed, landlord must restart. Retaliatory eviction within 6 months of code complaint: prohibited by 68 P.S. §250.205.
