Pennsylvania Notice Requirements to Terminate a Month-to-Month Tenancy

Pennsylvania state law does not specify how much notice landlords or tenants must provide to end a month-to-month rental agreement, but 30 days is typical. Your rental agreement should provide this information. Also, the state guide to tenants’ rights (see http://tenant.net/Other_Areas/Penn/harris/pa-toc.html)  may have useful information on how month-to-month tenancies end.  Landlords may not terminate a tenancy for a discriminatory or retaliatory reason, and different rules apply if you have not paid rent or violated other terms of your rental agreement.
