FAQ
Pennsylvania leases do not need to be notarized. Once both parties sign the document, it is considered legally valid.
No person, firm, or corporation managing, conducting, owning or operating a dwelling or dwelling unit shall rent, lease, let out or permit to be occupied or shall re-rent the same without first obtaining a certificate of occupancy from the Borough, as set forth by the same procedure as in §§ 101-2 and 101-7.
You need a Rental License to rent out a property. One license can cover all units within a single address. The owner must name a local managing agent when applying for the Rental License. The managing agent is responsible for handling maintenance requests, collecting rent, and resolving rental disputes.
A Pennsylvania month-to-month rental agreement is a lease that can be canceled upon written 30-day notice from the landlord or tenant. Otherwise, the agreement continues indefinitely. The landlord is able to change the terms of the lease by providing notice within the required period.
To make a state either landlord or tenant-friendly, the state's laws must favor one or the other more with legal rules and repercussions. RentRedi places Pennsylvania as a landlord-friendly state due to rules that allow for landlords to have more control over the landlord-tenant interactions.
First, the city can fine you $300 per day for every day your property has been rented without a license. For example, if the tenant has been living there for a year, you're looking at 365 days of fines – that's 365 times $300, which can add up very quickly.
Landlords in Pennsylvania are responsible for maintaining the rental property in a habitable condition. This includes making necessary repairs and ensuring that essential services are provided. Failure to maintain the property can lead to legal consequences.
The amount of notice required depends on the length of the lease. Notice Required to Terminate a Month to Month Tenancy: 15 days (68 P.S. §§ 250.501(b)). Notice Required to Terminate A Fixed Term Tenancy of a Year of More: 30 days (68 P.S. §§ 250.501(b)).
