Pennsylvania eviction research
State context for eviction filings, plus directories of Pennsylvania counties and major cities. Cited volumes come from named public sources — never from a fabricated local count.
What a filing means in Pennsylvania
An eviction filing is a court case asking a judge for possession of a rental unit. It is not a lockout. Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removing belongings without a court process are illegal. Local courts and executing offices set their own calendars — we do not publish guaranteed timelines.
Pennsylvania landlord-tenant complaints often begin in magisterial district court; appeals go to the court of common pleas.
EvictIQ operational timestamps (service attempts, writ applications, setout windows) are not claimed for this state. What follows is process education and public-source geography, not a field-coverage claim.
None of this is legal advice. Statutes, local rules, and court practice change.
Major cities
4 listed cities have a cited Eviction Lab 2016 judgment count or rate on the city page. State ranking extract.
Counties and county-equivalents
Every Pennsylvania county-equivalent has a page. Templates are intentionally thin: a filing is a court case, not a lockout, and we do not invent a county filing total when we do not have one.
