Explanation

Pennsylvania's Landlord-Tenant Act (68 P.S. §250) does not specify a required notice period for non-emergency landlord entry, unlike many other states. However, common law and lease terms typically govern entry rights. Prudent property managers provide reasonable advance notice (typically 24 hours) and enter only at reasonable times. In practice, most well-drafted Pennsylvania leases specify entry notice requirements.
