How much notice does a landlord have to give a tenant to move out in Pennsylvania? In the state of Pennsylvania, for a lease that is one year or less in length, a landlord can give a tenant 15-day notice to leave. For leases over one year, landlords can give a 30-day notice to leave from the date the lease ends.
A landlord is also entitled to legally terminate a lease and take steps to evict a holdover tenant, if a tenant fails to uphold their end of the agreement, such as by failing to pay rent, unlawfully subletting the property or engaging illegal activities at the property.
Most of the time, landlords allow their tenants to break the lease in exchange for a penalty. The "Early Termination Clause" should clearly explain what those penalties are. Those penalties often equal one or two months of rent, but in the end, the penalty will depend on what the landlord considers appropriate.
Tenants in Pennsylvania must give their landlord written notice if they want to end their lease agreement for any reason. Here's an overview of the periods they should consider: Monthly Leases - 15 days of notice. Leases That Last a Year or Less - 15 days of notice.
