Important: Pennsylvania Landlord-Tenant Law

Pennsylvania\'s Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 (68 P.S. § 250.101 et seq.) governs residential rental relationships. Tenants have specific rights including the implied warranty of habitability, protections against retaliatory eviction, and strict rules around security deposit handling.

In Allegheny County, landlord-tenant cases are typically filed in the Magisterial District Court serving the property\'s location. Tenants facing eviction generally have limited time to respond—often just 7 days from service. Having properly drafted legal documents is critical to preserving your rights.

Our ghostwriting service does not constitute full legal representation. We prepare professional legal documents that you file on your own behalf as a pro se litigant. All documents are drafted and reviewed by a PA licensed attorney.
