What Pennsylvania law says
| Ending a month-to-month lease | 15 days' notice before the end of the term (applies to leases of one year or less or indeterminate term, including month-to-month) for either party per the AG guide; the statute's 15-day notice-to-quit governs landlord termination. |
|---|---|
| How notices must be delivered | A notice to quit may be served personally on the tenant, left at the main building on the premises, or posted conspicuously on the rental. The lease may shorten or waive the notice period. No statute authorizes email or text notices. Source: 68 P.S. § 250.501(e)-(f) |
