I am also a PA LL and a Paralegal as well. So far, I have not seen any rules or laws governing Landlord Tenant issues in PA in times of a crisis. After consulting with others LLs in PA I've come to the conclusion that I must be prepared for Ts writing me notices that they cannot pay due to COVID-19. I am still mulling this over in my mind as all utilities are included in the monthly rent. It seems the logical thing to do is what someone already wrote in this post. Waive all late fees and ask to collect a certain amount until the rent is paid. The only problem I have is, thus far, I have not received any letters or notices regarding a relief on utilities. In situations such as these and I hate to be cynical, some people tend to take advantage, get aggressive and get whatever they can gain for their own personal interest. I want to be prepared when I start to hear comment such as my children come first, and I have other bills to pay. I may heard this from one tenant in particular. I want to be civil and by the same token I don't want to be harsh. And I also don't want to be made a fool of. Any suggestions?
