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.

Frequently asked questions

Is this lease legally valid in my state?

It's built from your state's statutes and includes the disclosures and clauses your state requires. It is a self-help document, not legal advice — for a specific legal question, consult a licensed attorney in your state.

Can I edit the lease after I buy it?

Yes. A solo purchase lets you regenerate the document any time before you download the final copy. The Complete Landlord Pack includes unlimited edits for 12 months.

What's the difference between fixed-term and month-to-month?

A fixed-term lease ends on a specific date with no further notice required. A month-to-month lease continues indefinitely until either party gives the notice your state requires.
