Amending Chapter 9-800 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Landlord and Tenant - Rent Control," by requiring that tenants of rental units be provided with a written disclosure of the Landlord's Rental License Information at the time of and accompanying their lease; and make technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.

AI summary

This lapsed proposal would have required landlords entering into or renewing a residential lease to give tenants or prospective tenants written information about the landlord’s rental license. The disclosure would have been included with the lease and provided contact information for the Department of Licenses and Inspections so the license could be verified before the lease was signed.
