What are the Laws in Pennsylvania pertaining to winter time eviction?


My Mother , whom is disabled and paid her rent on time , was given a verbal eviction by her Landlord and given the reason that he was selling the property . Does he have the Legal right to give her 30 days verbal notice in the winter months , not to mention, she is disabled. It was my undestanding that it needs to be written notice filed at the local Magistrates Office , and isn't there Laws protecting tennant from being evicted in the Winter when there not at fault and paying the agreed rent?

The verbal eviction would not hold up in court, in that case it would be a matter of hesaid/ she said. Typically, an eviction notice has to be given at least 30 days in advance and has to be filed through the courts.

As for evicting someone in winter months, there are no laws about when a person can be evicted. A person can be evicted during anytime of year regardless of weather conditions.

In short, if a person couldn't be evicted in winter, most people wouldn't pay their rent until spring. More to the point, if a person with a handicap, children or other reason couldn't be evicted during winter, it could be construed as a form of discrimination against those without a similar affliction or situation.

Sadly, it may not be ethical, but it currently isn't illegal. You should consult with an attorney in your area who is familiar with your states laws, it sounds like you're going to need one.
Best of luck.
