Cal. Civ. Code § 250.509
Return Where Tenant Retains Forcible Possession; Notice to Tenant that Alias Writ Will be Issued Requiring Use of Force, and Service Thereof
Operative Text
(509 repealed Apr. 28, 1978, P.L.202, No.53)
Section 68 P.S. § 250.509 of Pennsylvania's landlord-tenant law, which originally addressed the return of property where a tenant retained forcible possession and the notice procedures for alias writs, was repealed by the Pennsylvania Legislature on April 28, 1978, through P.L.202, No.53. As a result, this provision no longer carries any legal force or effect. Any procedures that were once governed by § 250.509 are no longer operative under this section of the statute.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Because 68 P.S. § 250.509 was repealed in 1978, property owners and managers should not rely on this section as authority for any eviction-related procedure involving forcible possession or alias writs. Compliant operators look to other currently active provisions of Pennsylvania's landlord-tenant law when navigating possession and eviction matters. Consulting the current Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act and related statutes is the appropriate starting point for understanding applicable procedures.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants should be aware that 68 P.S. § 250.509 no longer exists as enforceable law, having been repealed on April 28, 1978, and cannot be cited as a source of rights or obligations by either party. If a landlord references this section in connection with a possession dispute or eviction proceeding, that reference has no legal basis under current Pennsylvania law. Tenants facing eviction or forcible-possession situations may wish to review currently active provisions of Pennsylvania landlord-tenant law or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about applicable protections.
