How do I appeal a District Justice Judgment for a Landlord/Tenant Judgment for Possession?
A. Individuals have 10 days from the date the judgment is entered to file an appeal if they wish to stay in the property. A bond is required at the time of filing the appeal, which consists of the money amount in arrears or three months rent, whichever is less. A low income tenant filing an appeal will need to determine what type of tenant they are (A, B, C, D) at the time of filing the appeal to determine what, if any, bond needs to be paid.
