Eviction Agreement Dispute Resolution

Summary

In Pennsylvania, text message agreements with landlords can be legally binding if they clearly outline terms agreed upon by both parties. If a court order for eviction exists, it generally takes precedence unless modified by the court. In urgent situations, contact local legal aid or housing authorities for immediate assistance. Consider filing a motion to stay the eviction, including evidence of the agreement, and seek legal help to ensure proper drafting.
