The part most landlords don't know
This is not a fine that shows up later. It is your position right now. Until the property is compliant, the law does not permit you to collect the rent you're owed, and it does not permit you to remove anyone from a property you own. Every month it stays that way is a month the property costs you money instead of making it.

Compliance & Eviction Filing for Philadelphia Landlords
Most landlords don't lose in court on the merits. They lose on paperwork — and they rarely find out which piece failed until the day it costs them. We find it, clear it, and file, so your case stands up.
Talk to us about your propertyOut of compliance, out of control
Nothing arrives in the mail to warn you. A gap sits quietly for months and then surfaces at the worst possible moment — when you finally need the court, and the court tells you that you can't be there yet.
Most landlords who are out of compliance have no idea which item is the problem. The first real signal is usually a denial, a delay, or a judge.
These requirements stack on each other in a specific order. A single item out of place can freeze everything behind it, including your ability to collect.
A step taken out of order, or taken the wrong way, sends you back to the start — carrying a property that isn't earning while you sort it out.
Two sectors, one team
Compliance is the front door and the foundation. The Eviction Team picks up from there — by the time you need to file, we already hold your timeline.
Sector One
From out of compliance to cleared, current, and in control.
We'll get you in compliance and help you stay there.

Eviction readiness, prepared and filed on time.
You show up. We handle the rest.
Talk to the teamHow it works
Book a time that suits you — by phone or by video. Tell us what you're dealing with, and we'll walk you through how we work and what the next step looks like. Nothing to prepare, and it costs you nothing.
You complete a short intake so we have what we need, then we run the full research on the entity and on every property and hand you written findings: what's standing in your way, what it takes to clear it, and the order it has to happen in.
We do the legwork to clear what the findings turn up — the applications, the paperwork, the chasing — and when it's time, we prepare and file. You stay informed and you stay the party of record. Staying current after that is an ongoing service you can keep in place, so nothing lapses between renewals.
Concierge Compliance
Many of our clients didn't set out to be landlords — they inherited a building, or bought one and got handed a filing calendar nobody explained. We do the legwork, hold the deadlines, and keep you ahead of the clock instead of chasing it. The burden, off your plate — start to finish.
Request a compliance reviewQuestions
No. We are not a law firm and we don't give legal advice or represent anyone in court. We handle compliance work and act as a preparation and filing service. If your matter needs counsel, we'll point you to a Philadelphia real estate attorney — no fee changes hands between us for that recommendation.
Yes. You remain the party of record and you appear at the hearing yourself. Everything leading up to that — notice, documentation, the filing packet, the deadlines — is ours.
One entity, one intake. Some of what we handle sits at the entity level and applies to everything you own; the rest is specific to each property, since no two properties carry an identical set of requirements. The research sorts out which is which.
Being behind is the ordinary starting point here, not a disqualifier — it's most of what we see. Whatever's outstanding is precisely what the work exists to resolve, and there is usually more room to fix it than landlords assume. The research tells us how much.
You can. Landlords who try usually find out the hard way that the requirements aren't posted in one place, don't apply the same way to every property, and have to be handled in a particular order. What you're paying us for is knowing which items apply to you, and in what sequence, before you spend months finding out.
Findings come back within the turnaround we give you on the first call. What follows depends on what we turn up and on the City's own processing times, which nobody controls — so we give you a realistic timeline along with the findings rather than a promise upfront, and we keep you posted at each stage.
Philadelphia County. The City sets its own licensing and compliance requirements, separate from the surrounding counties, and those are the requirements we work in every day.
