SECOND CHANCES START HERE! TELL THE SENATE TO PASS H.B. 1095

Today in Pennsylvania, an eviction filing stays on your record forever—even if you won your case.

That one record can lock you and your family out of safe housing.

H.B. 1095 would change that. It passed the House. Now it’s up to the Senate to stand up for our families.

Take one minute to tell Senate Republican and Democratic leaders: Pass H.B. 1095.

Seal the record. Give families a fair shot at safe housing.


Your message will be sent to:
Senator Jay Costa; Senator Joe Pittman; Senator Kim Ward.

Subject line:
Every Renter Deserves a Fresh Start! Pass H.B. 1095!


Email Body:

Dear President Pro Tempore Ward, Majority Leader Pittman, and Minority Leader Costa,

Please bring H.B. 1095 to a vote and pass it.

Pennsylvania renters shouldn’t be locked out of safe housing for years because of an eviction filing that stays on their record indefinitely, even if they won the case.

H.B. 1095 is a balanced solution to a difficult problem. It would seal records right away for tenants who win their case and after seven years in other cases. It passed the House and has support from the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors.

A filing isn’t a verdict. Every renter deserves a fresh start. Please pass H.B. 1095.

 



Sincerely,
