RULE 1008C INDIGENT TENANTS

6. If a landlord files a Petition for the Release of Sums from the Escrow Account on a

continuing basis as permitted by Pa.R.C.P.M.D.J. 1008B, a copy of the Petition, which

shall state the reason(s) for the sums desired, shall immediately be served on the tenant

and any other parties of record, with a proof of service. The court shall issue a rule to

show cause why the Petition should not be granted and serve the rule on the tenant, or

tenant’s counsel if the tenant is represented, and any other parties of record. If no

response to the rule is filed, then the Court shall, upon motion, make the rule absolute.

If a response to the rule is filed, any party may file a certificate of readiness, upon receipt

of which the Court shall schedule a hearing for the sole purpose of determining those

sums which are appropriate solely for the purpose of compensating the landlord for the

tenant’s actual possession and use of the premises during the pendency of the

appeal.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
