The landlord must give the tenant 28 days' notice that the tenancy is terminating plus the period of notice in the original notice of termination that remains unexpired on the date of service of the remedial notice.

It is not legal for your landlord to physically force you to move out or to change the locks or to shut off your utilities to get you to move out. Pennsylvania law only allows a landlord to evict you by going to court, usually before an MDJ.
Unless your lease says otherwise, your landlord must give you a written notice before filing an eviction case against you. The notice tells you when the landlord wants you to move. The amount of time the eviction notice gives you to move depends on the length of your lease and the reason you are being asked to move.
You must file an answer if you wish to postpone or stop the eviction. If you do not file an answer, then the judge will likely rule in the landlord's favor. If you do file an answer, then a hearing will be scheduled. You must attend this hearing.
The Landlord/Tenant Act requires your landlord to give you a written eviction notice. This notice must be a 10-day notice if he/she is evicting you for nonpayment of rent, or 15 days if the eviction is for breach of the lease or end of lease term.
