What this calculator is, and what it is not.
This calculator applies the Pennsylvania rules as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled cities) can apply stricter rules. For contested cases, consult a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney.
