Pennsylvania Eviction Notice

Before a landlord can file an eviction case in Pennsylvania, the tenant must receive a written notice that states what is wrong and how long they have to fix it or move out. In Pennsylvania, a landlord must generally give 10 days' notice to pay rent or quit under 68 Pa. Stat. 250.501(b).

This template generates a Pennsylvania eviction notice for nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, or the end of the tenancy. You set the notice period so the document matches the current Pennsylvania requirement for your situation.
