Pennsylvania Rental Agreement Types

Residential Lease Agreement

A Pennsylvania residential lease agreement (“rental agreement”) is a legal contract for a tenant to rent a residential property from a landlord, subject to terms and conditions agreed by all parties.

Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

A Pennsylvania month-to-month lease agreement is a contract (not necessarily written) where a tenant rents property from a landlord. The full rental term is one month, renewable on a month-to-month basis.

Rental Application Form

Pennsylvania landlords may use a rental application form to screen prospective tenants. A rental application collects information relating to finances, rental history, and past evictions.

Residential Sublease Agreement

A Pennsylvania sublease agreement is a legal contract where a tenant ("sublessor") rents (“subleases”) property to a new tenant (“sublessee”), usually with the landlord’s permission.

Roommate Agreement

A Pennsylvania roommate agreement is a legal contract between two or more people (“co-tenants”) who share a rental property according to rules they set, including for things like splitting the rent. This agreement binds the co-tenants living together, and doesn’t include the landlord.

Commercial Lease Agreement

A Pennsylvania commercial lease agreement is a legal contract arranging the rental of commercial space between a landlord and a business.
