Tell your landlord, in writing, what the problem is and what you plan to do about it. For example, tell your landlord that you will withhold your rent if he/she does not make the requested repairs. Send a letter by certified mail. Keep a copy of the letter to prove that the landlord was notified.
The Landlord/Tenant Act requires your landlord to give you a written eviction notice. This notice must be a 10-day notice if he/she is evicting you for nonpayment of rent, or 15 days if the eviction is for breach of the lease or end of lease term.
Ing to Pennsylvania law, once the Order of Possession is issued, law enforcement officials (only) have to serve it to the tenant within 48 hours from the time they receive it. Once the tenants receive the order, they have 10 days to move out before they are forcefully evicted from the property.
Pennsylvania judgments are valid for 5 years. Judgments can be revived every 5 years and should be revived if a creditor is attempting to actively collect on the debt. Judgments also act as a lien against real property for up to 20 years or longer if properly revived.
A creditor can sue you if you get behind in your payments. The creditor may file a law suit at the Magisterial District Court if it's for a small amount, or may sue you in the County Court of Common Pleas, or in Federal Court. A PA constable or sheriff must serve you with a copy of the Complaint.
