Month to Month Lease in Philadelphia - When Do I Give Notice That I'm Moving
My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Pennsylvania
Hello all, I'm in Philadelphia, PA. I am on a month-to-month lease, I think. I have not signed anything that says I'm on a month-to -month. The lease I had when I first moved in has expired years ago and my landlord never gave me a new lease. I have found somewhere else I'd like to live. Do I have to give my landlord a full 30 days notice before I move out? What would happen if I gave him shorter notice? When I moved in, I paid 1st mth, last mth, and security.
I thank all who respond in advance- I need all the help I can get regarding this issue:)

You need to give him 30 days notice (and pay for those 30 days), but you can move any time during the notice period.

Yes you give a full rental period notice in this case 30 days if your month to month

Okay, thank you both for responding so quickly!!
I have one more question: My rent is due on the 1st of each month. My lease has expired, so this is no longer in writing- but I have been paying this way for the past 2 years. Do I have to wait until the end of this month/beginning of next month to tell my landlord that I want to move or can I let him know tomorrow, for example, and then move out 30 days from tomorrow?

When you give notice the 30 day period begins.
