An Act amending the act of April 6, 1951 (P.L.69, No.20), known as The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, in tenement buildings and multiple dwelling premises, further providing for landlord's duties; and providing for tenant relocation.

This bill update shifts the document status from an introduced draft to a version amended and reported by the Housing and Community Development Committee. The most significant policy change clarifies how security deposits must be handled for permanently displaced tenants, explicitly requiring interest calculations to follow specific state sections (511.1 and 511.2) and removing language that allowed landlords to deduct unpaid debts from the deposit before paying interest. Additionally, the definition of covered damages was expanded to include issues caused by a lack of maintenance, neglect, or failure to pay utility bills, broadening the protections for tenants beyond just natural disasters or acts of God.
