Just cause eviction rules in Norristown, PA — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Pennsylvania Landlord-Tenant Act establishes uniform eviction notice and procedure requirements applicable statewide, governing all residential tenancy terminations universally.
The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 (68 P.S. 250.501) requires written notice before eviction: 10 days for nonpayment, 15 days for term-of-one-year-or-less leases, and 30 days for longer leases. Landlords must file at the magisterial district court. Pennsylvania does not require just cause for nonrenewal of expired leases. Statewide procedure preempts conflicting local notice rules, though municipalities may add tenant protections.
Self-help evictions or lockouts violate 68 P.S. 250.501 and expose landlords to wrongful eviction damages, possible treble damages, attorney fees, and tenant restoration orders.
