Explanation
Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (UTPCPL, 73 P.S. §201-1 et seq.) prohibits deceptive acts and practices in consumer transactions, including real estate. A buyer who suffers damages from a licensee's misrepresentation, concealment, or deceptive practice may sue under the UTPCPL and potentially recover treble damages and attorney fees. The UTPCPL complements RELRA's licensing discipline provisions and provides an additional private remedy for aggrieved consumers.
