Is Philadelphia more landlord or tenant friendly?

[Bill Caraker]

I often hear on the podcast about how certain states or cities have laws that lean in the favor of either the landlord or the tenant as far as protection and liability. Where does Pennsylvania and more specifically Philadelphia fall on this spectrum? Would appreciate any examples from past experience.

Overall I would say PA is landlord friendly. Philadelphia might be the exception --- you have more laws to comply with as the landlord.
