United States / Pennsylvania
Major rental market split between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metros, with Philadelphia's unique licensing requirements and statewide Landlord-Tenant Act compliance.
Regulatory Framework
Pennsylvania landlord-tenant law is governed by the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 (68 P.S. 250.101 et seq.). Pennsylvania does not have statewide rent control or just-cause eviction requirements. Philadelphia has significant additional requirements including mandatory rental license and inspection, the Fair Practices Ordinance limiting tenant screening criteria, and specific lead paint disclosure requirements. Security deposits are capped at two months' rent for the first year and one month's rent for subsequent years. Deposits must be placed in an escrow account.
