FAQ

Landlords in Pennsylvania are prohibited from discriminating against tenants, retaliating against tenants for exercising their legal rights, invading a tenant's privacy without proper notice, providing uninhabitable living conditions, illegally withholding security deposits, and including illegal clauses in lease ...

A new owner may decide not to renew current leases or may increase rent in the next term for a tenant, but a change in ownership does not give a landlord the right to evict compliant tenants or change lease terms unless the lease itself contains language allowing the owner to end the lease on a transfer of ownership.

Once a person has resided somewhere for 30 days, they are considered a tenant by law and they have tenant's rights. This means that the landlord cannot move their items without their consent or an eviction.

Pennsylvania Law, 68 P. S250. 505a, gives tenants 10 days from the postmark date the landlord sends written notice that the items were left behind. You can request that the property be stored for an additional period not exceeding 30 days from the date of the notice.

Pennsylvania requires landlords to give tenants at least 30 days' notice when they plan to sell a property.

This is a legal term with historical roots, and indeed the law was put on the books in Pennsylvania in the 1800s. Power to distrain means the landlord can take personal property of the tenant, with some exceptions, as payment for unpaid rent.

Can a landlord break a lease to sell the property? Yes, this is well within your right. However, whether you keep tenants during the selling process comes down to personal preference. Some landlords prefer having tenants out of their property before they put the house on the market.

In order to end a tenancy early in Pennsylvania, the landlord or tenant must provide the other party with a written notice containing a specific deadline. These include: Notice to terminate a month-to-month lease – 15 days. Notice to terminate a lease for a year – 15 days.

A tenant has the right to receive rent payments from the new owner if the property is sold during the lease term. The new owner must honor the lease agreement and cannot increase the rent or change any of the terms of the lease without the tenant's consent.
