While many landlords and tenants prefer traditional fixed-term leases lasting a year or more, a Pennsylvania month-to-month rental agreement offers greater flexibility. Unlike fixed leases that expire on a set date, these agreements automatically renew each month until either party gives proper notice to end the contract. Landlords must still provide all required disclosures, but the month-to-month arrangement allows for easier adjustments and short-term commitments.

Required Landlord Disclosures (2)
Under Pennsylvania landlord-tenant law, landlords must only make two disclosures to tenants.
- Lead-based paint: In all 50 states, federal law requires landlords to inform tenants of the known presence of lead-based paint and all associated hazards in dwelling units built prior to 1978.
- Megan’s Law: Under Megan’s Law, landlords in Pennsylvania must inform the community regarding the presence of sex offenders, such as other tenants residing on or near the rental property.
Note: These disclosures are included in TurboTenant’s Pennsylvania month-to-month lease agreements.
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
Required notice for landlord: Landlords in Pennsylvania must notify tenants 15 days before terminating a month-to-month rental agreement due to violations of the agreement terms or 10 days for nonpayment of rent. After a year, 30 days’ notice is required to terminate the rental agreement (68 Pa. Stat. § 250.501).
Required notice for tenant: Pennsylvania law does not specify a required notice period for residential tenants to terminate a month-to-month lease agreement. The common practice is 30 days’ notice.
If your lease agreement contains a Waiver of Notice to Quit, then no notice period will be required, and tenants will be asked to leave the property without notice under Pennsylvania law (68 P.S.§ 250.101 et seq.) TurboTenant has included this clause in our PA lease for you.
Rent Increase Laws
One of the key advantages for landlords using a month-to-month rental agreement is the flexibility to increase rent. Currently, Pennsylvania has neither rent control nor rent stabilization laws. So, landlords may increase rent by any amount deemed fit.
Notably, Pennsylvania law does not require landlords to give tenants a specific notice period before increasing rent, though some municipalities and counties may have their own rules. Without any regulations, landlords must follow the protocol for rent increases — including notice periods and permitted amounts — outlined in the rental agreement.
