Hello Sterling,
In Pennsylvania:

- Noise complaints could potentially be grounds for eviction, but usually, there should be a clause about noise in your lease.
- The Fair Housing Act protects against discrimination towards families with children.

Remember to consult with a local attorney for specific advice.
She is discriminating against my son, every “reason” she gave was basis on the lines of him even being born is an “inconvenience” for others in the building
Hello Sterling,
Discrimination against families with children is unlawful under the Fair Housing Act. If you believe your landlord is acting discriminatorily, you could:

Please remember this is general advice.
