Re: Selling rental property
Good question. Issues such as this are generally addressed by a written lease. Without that then the question is how long the lease is for. Under PA law a lease must be in writing if its for more than 3 years.
Most rentals with out leases are month to month. So either party can end the lease with 30 days notice.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
