Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Pennsylvania

Unlike normal DJ judgments where all the unhappy party has to do is file an appeal to common pleas court a tenant not only has to file a timely appeal but also has to deposit the rent both back and future monthly rent with the Prothonotary. If they didn't then the appeal doesn't act as a stay of execution of the DJ judgment.

Time to find yourself a lawyer. Filing a civil complaint in Common Pleas court is no easy task. Besides the lawyer could check to see if the tenant has perfected a stay or not.
