Legally terminating a month to month lease

Jay Dave
Posted

Hello, I am a landlord of a single family home on the East side. Our current tenants are on a month on month lease after their 12 month lease expired in Nov 2023. Two weeks back I sent them a communication about our intent to renew the annual lease at a higher rent that matches the current market rate starting 60 days after the note. I haven’t heard from them despite 2 subsequent reminders. What are my options at this point as a landlord? If I want to terminate the lease what is the legal process for doing so? 

Thank you for your guidance in advance!

-Jay

    Here in PA, month to month leases can be terminated by either party with 30 days notice. We require the notice in writing and must terminate before the first of the month, no mid month terminations.
