Cal. Civ. Code § 250.602
General Repeal
Operative Text
All other acts and parts of acts, general, local and special, inconsistent with or supplied by this act, are hereby repealed. It is intended that this act shall furnish a complete and exclusive system in itself.
Section 68 P.S. § 250.602 is a general repeal clause that eliminates any prior Pennsylvania laws—whether general, local, or special—that conflict with or are superseded by the Landlord and Tenant Act. The provision also declares that the Act is intended to stand as a complete and self-contained legal framework on the subjects it covers. In effect, this clause resolves conflicts between the Act and older statutes by giving the Act controlling authority.

Under 68 P.S. § 250.602, property owners and managers operating in Pennsylvania should be aware that the Landlord and Tenant Act displaces older or inconsistent state, local, and special laws on the topics it addresses. Compliant operators generally look to the Act as the primary source of governing rules rather than relying on pre-existing statutes that may have been repealed by this provision. When questions arise about which law applies to a landlord-tenant matter, this repeal clause signals that the Act itself is the controlling authority.

Section 68 P.S. § 250.602 means that tenants in Pennsylvania can generally look to the Landlord and Tenant Act as the comprehensive governing law for covered landlord-tenant matters, since conflicting older laws have been repealed. If a landlord attempts to rely on an older or inconsistent statute to justify a practice, this provision may be relevant to understanding which law actually controls. Tenants who have questions about which rules apply to their situation may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Pennsylvania landlord-tenant law.
