Philadelphia Cnty. C.P. Municipal Court-Civil Rule 107
Waiver of Portion of Claim
(a) The filing of a complaint shall constitute a waiver and rele ase by the claimant of any portion
of his claim, arising from the transaction or occurrence from which the claim arose, which exceeds
the jurisdictional limit of the Court; provided, however, that in the event an appeal is taken or the
claim is transferred to a Court of Common Pleas, such waiver and release shall not bar the claimant
from asserting the full amount of his claim.
(b) Claims for payment of rent due and unpaid may be in cluded in any action for the recovery of
possession, and the judgment of possession shall set forth the total rent owed, regardless of the
amount. A judgment for rent owed may be entered in the same action. Such money judgment may
not exceed the jurisdictional limit of the Court, but shall not constitute a waiver or release by the
claimant of any portion of the claim which exceed such jurisdictional limit.
