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.

FYI The Notice to Quit does not have to be notarized, typed or on a special form in order for it to be a legal Notice to Quit. A LANDLORD CAN EVICT YOU FOR THREE REASONS: (1) YOU HAVE BREACHED YOUR LEASE; (2) YOU HAVE NOT PAID RENT; (3) THE LEASE TERM HAS ENDED.

Before a landlord can start filing an eviction, the landlord must give the tenant a 10-Day Notice to Quit. This eviction notice allows the tenant 10 days to settle any unpaid rent. The tenant must resolve their nonpayment of rent after the 10 days' notice or leave the rental premises.

Upon payment delinquency or other lease violation, the landlord sends the tenant a written notice (Notice to Quit; 15-day or 30-day notice, depending on the length of tenancy) Failing to resolve, the landlord can serve the tenant an eviction notice, which will then go to trial.
