FAQs
Most deeds in Pennsylvania require the grantor's signature to be notarized before the deed can be recorded with the county recorder of deeds. Recording gives the public notice of the transfer and protects the new owner's interest in the property.
Real property — or realty — includes land, buildings, and fixtures permanently attached to the land. Personal property covers movable items. The distinction matters in Pennsylvania transactions because different legal rules, taxes, and transfer procedures apply to each.
Pennsylvania does not require a written lease for every residential tenancy, but a written agreement is strongly advisable. It sets clear expectations on rent, duration, security deposits, and tenant obligations, and provides a reliable record if a dispute arises.
A life estate deed transfers ownership of real property while reserving the right to live in or use it for the duration of someone's life — typically the grantor's. It is commonly used in Pennsylvania estate planning to pass property to heirs without going through probate while the grantor retains full use during their lifetime.
A landlord in Pennsylvania may keep all or part of a security deposit only to cover unpaid rent or damage beyond normal wear and tear. The landlord must provide an itemized written statement and return any remaining balance within the timeframe set by state law.
