Pennsylvania Notice to Vacate 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.
