Get Ny Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (scrie) Portability Request Form - New York City 2021

Pennsylvania law does not specify a specific notice period that a landlord must provide to a tenant; however, Philadelphia requires a landlord to provide 60-days notice in writing for leases of a year or more. For tenants on less than a year 30 days' notice is mandatory.

The law's tenant protections apply to both month-to-month rentals as well as fixed leases. For any tenant who has continuously and lawfully resided in a property for 12 months, the landlord must have “just cause” as provided in AB 1482 to terminate the tenancy.

Under AB 1482, landlords are limited to increasing rent by no more than 5% plus the local CPI (inflation rate) or 10%, whichever is lower. The local inflation rate is determined by the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI), which is released annually by the California Department of Finance.

For an increase in rent that is 10 percent or less (in any 12-month period), owners must provide tenants with at least 30-days' advance notice. If an owner gives more than one rent increase per year and those increases total more than 10 percent, the owner must give tenants a 60-day advance notice.

Most lease terms are 2 year, 1 year, or month to month. Philadelphia Code § 9-804 (11) requires that the landlord give at least 60 day notice of rent increase for leases with a term of 1 year or more and at least 30 day notice of rent increase for leases with a term of less than one year.
