The bill adds new regulations regarding parking provisions in leases under The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951.

  • Section 207

    Parking Provisions in Lease.--(a) (1) A landlord shall state in a lease whether parking is provided for a tenant. If the landlord provides parking to the tenant, the landlord shall state in the lease whether the tenant is required to pay a fee for the provision of parking and, if so, the amount of the fee. (2) A landlord may not change or add a fee associated with the provision of parking for the duration of a lease with a tenant. (b) A tenant may file a complaint with a lower court if a violation of subsection (a) occurs. (c) If the lower court determines that a landlord violated subsection (a), the landlord shall be required to pay parking costs incurred by the tenant for the duration of the lease, as determined by the lower court. (d) As used in this section, the term "lower court" shall mean a district justice, magistrate or any other court having jurisdiction over landlord and tenant matters. The term does not include a court of common pleas.

    This establishes requirements for landlords regarding parking provisions in leases and provides tenants with a complaint mechanism for violations.
