What must a Pennsylvania notice to quit include?
A compliant Pennsylvania notice to quit must include the tenant name (or 'All Occupants'), the property address, a statement that the tenant must vacate, the deadline (10 days for nonpayment, 15 days for other violations on tenancies under 1 year, 30 days for 1 year+, under 68 P.S. 250.501), the statutory language for the specific type of notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, unconditional), the landlord's name and signature, and the date of service. Missing any element voids the notice and the subsequent eviction filing.

This is an informational answer based on Pennsylvania eviction statute as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney.
