An Act amending the act of April 6, 1951 (P.L.69, No.20), known as The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, in creation of leases, statute of frauds and mortgaging of leaseholds, providing for parking provisions in lease.
HB 344 amends Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act to require landlords to disclose parking availability and associated fees in rental leases. Landlords must state whether parking is provided, if a fee applies, and the exact amount - prohibiting fee increases during the lease term. Tenants can file complaints with lower courts (e.g., district justice) if landlords fail to comply, and landlords violating the rules must reimburse tenants for parking costs incurred. This directly affects landlords and tenants in Pennsylvania rental agreements involving parking.

MINOR
This bill version adds a new rule requiring landlords to explicitly state in leases whether parking is provided and if a fee applies. It also clarifies that failing to make this disclosure counts as the landlord not providing parking at all. Additionally, it creates a specific exception allowing landlords to change parking fees if parking availability changes or if a third-party parking provider alters their fees.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding parking disclosures is expanded to include a 'deemed non-provision' rule for landlords who fail to disclose parking details, and new exceptions are added for fee changes based on availability or third-party rate adjustments.
REQUIREMENT
Added a mandatory requirement for landlords to disclose in leases whether parking is provided and if a fee is charged.
Added an exception allowing landlords to change or add parking fees if parking availability changes or if a third-party parking provider changes their fees.
ENFORCEMENT
Added a rule stating that a landlord's failure to make the required parking disclosure is legally treated as the landlord not providing parking.
