Pennsylvania Eviction Notice
Before a Pennsylvania landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what Pennsylvania’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.

Pennsylvania Eviction Notice FAQs
How much notice ends a month-to-month lease in Pennsylvania?
15 days under 68 P.S. § 250.501(b), which covers periodic tenancies and fixed terms of a year or less. Non-payment of rent takes 10 days, and a fixed term longer than a year takes 30 days.
Can a Pennsylvania notice to quit be sent by mail?
Not on its own. Section 250.501(f) requires personal delivery, leaving the notice at the principal building on the premises, or conspicuous posting. Mail or email alone does not satisfy service, no matter what notice address the lease specifies.
