FAQ
Gather Necessary Information. Collect all pertinent information related to your eviction. This includes your lease agreement, documentation of rent payments, communication with the landlord, and any other relevant records. The more evidence you have to support your case, the stronger your letter will be.
Pennsylvania law only allows a landlord to evict you by going to court, usually before an MDJ. If you do not move out of your rental property voluntarily by the date indicated in an eviction notice, if one is required, the landlord can file an eviction Complaint with the MDJ.
If you want to stop an eviction, you must file your appeal before you are removed from the rental unit. Once you are evicted (removed), there is no ready way to "undo" the removal and get back into the property.

File a motion to vacate the eviction judgment. This is a formal request to the court to ask them to overturn the eviction judgment. Gather evidence to support your claim that the eviction was illegal. This may include copies of your rent checks,your lease agreement,and the summons that was sent to you.
You must file an answer if you wish to postpone or stop the eviction. If you do not file an answer, then the judge will likely rule in the landlord's favor. If you do file an answer, then a hearing will be scheduled. You must attend this hearing.
Unless and until the judge grants the motion and sets the eviction order aside, the eviction order is valid and enforceable (unless the court orders otherwise). The tenant can file a motion to stay, discussed above, to request that the eviction be delayed (up to ten days), but any delay is at the court's discretion.
In California, once a tenant has given a notice of intent to vacate, they are typically bound by this notice. However, if the tenant wishes to rescind their notice, it would require the landlord's agreement. The landlord is not legally obligated to accept the retraction of the notice.
Eviction records can stay in your tenant screening reports for up to seven years.
