Pennsylvania Lease Renewal Agreement
$19Extend an existing tenancy for a new term without redrafting the whole lease — set the new dates and rent, note any other changed terms, and everything else from the original lease stays in force.
Core state figures — deposit caps, notice periods, entry rules — independently verified by a licensed U.S. attorney.
What Pennsylvania law requires
- Security deposit cap
- Pennsylvania caps your security deposit at two months' rent for the first year of your lease. From the second year onward — including renewals — the cap drops to one month's rent, and your landlord must refund the difference. Once you've rented from the same landlord for five years, they can no longer raise your deposit even if they raise your rent.68 P.S. § 250.511a · source

Frequently asked questions
Do I need this instead of a new lease?
If the tenant is staying and most terms are unchanged, a renewal is simpler than a full new lease. If a lot is changing (new tenants, major rule changes), a fresh lease is cleaner.
Can I raise the rent with this document?
Yes — set the new monthly rent for the renewal term. Some states cap how much or how often rent can increase; verify your state's rule before finalizing the amount.
