Answer:
In Pennsylvania, a landlord cannot terminate your rental agreement simply because you are involved in a tenants' organization. The law (68 P.S. § 250.205) states that no lease on residential property can be ended or not renewed based on a tenant's participation in a tenants' association.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
