An Act amending the act of April 6, 1951 (P.L.69, No.20), known as The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; and, in creation of leases, statute of frauds and mortgaging of leaseholds, providing for website and disclosure of flood risks.
HB 1705 amends Pennsylvania's 1951 Landlord and Tenant Act to require landlords to disclose flood risk information to tenants. It directly affects landlords and tenants by mandating that flood risk data be made available on a public website, rather than solely through lease documents. The key provision creates a new requirement for landlords to provide access to this flood risk information via an online platform, improving transparency about property flood hazards. This change updates how flood risk disclosures are delivered under the existing law.
