Eviction

Which magisterial district hears my Pittsburgh eviction?

Most evictions start in a magisterial district court. The district number on the paper matters. Pittsburgh PLI inspects conditions. Philadelphia L&I is a different city. Pennsylvania’s Landlord and Tenant Act is the floor.

Key takeaways

  • A landlord notice is usually a step, not an eviction.
  • Court papers name a court, a case number, or an appearance date.
  • Deadlines live in your state chapter. This desk does not invent them.

Do this today

  1. Keep the original. Photograph every page, including envelopes and posting.
  2. Write the date, time, and how it arrived.
  3. If a court is named, call legal aid the same day.

What this page is not

  • Not a deadline calculator.
  • Not legal advice, and not a law firm.
  • Not a substitute for the official chapter or legal aid.
