On March 13 we wrote about the recent Commonwealth Court case, Apartment Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh v. Pittsburgh, in which the Court struck down a Pittsburgh ordinance that would have required landlords to accept Section 8 vouchers from tenants. In short, the Court concluded that the Ordinance can not stand because it violated Pittsburgh’s Home Rule Charter.

On April 11, 2019, the City of Pittsburgh filed a Petition for Allowance of Appeal, asking the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to review the Commonwealth Court’s decision. It may be a few months before we know if the Supreme Court will hear the case. We will continue to monitor this case and provide further updates.
