Pennsylvania Residential Lease Agreement

PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT

This Pennsylvania Residential Lease Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the Agreement date stated in the Data Schedule, by and between the Landlord and Tenant(s) identified in the Data Schedule. The dwelling leased under this Agreement is located in the county and at the Premises address stated in the Data Schedule ("Premises"). In consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows.

1. Term. This Agreement begins on the Commencement Date stated in the Data Schedule, under the term elected in the Data Schedule. The Data Schedule term election is a fundamental election and exactly one option must be checked. If neither option is checked but both the Commencement Date and the Termination Date are completed, Fixed Term is deemed elected. If both options are checked, Fixed Term is deemed elected if both the Commencement Date and the Termination Date are completed, and Month-to-Month is deemed elected if the Termination Date is not completed. If neither option is checked and those dates are not completed, the term election is incomplete. If Fixed Term is elected, this Agreement continues as a lease for a fixed term and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date stated in the Data Schedule. Upon the Termination Date, Tenant must vacate the Premises unless: (i) Landlord and Tenant extend this Agreement in a signed writing or enter into a new signed agreement; (ii) applicable law requires extension of the tenancy; or (iii) Landlord accepts new Rent from Tenant that is not past-due Rent. If Landlord accepts new Rent after the fixed term, a month-to-month tenancy will be created. Either party may terminate this month-to-month tenancy by following the procedures specified for Month-to-Month tenancy in this § 1. If Month-to-Month is elected, this Agreement continues as a month-to-month tenancy. If Tenant desires to terminate the tenancy, Tenant must provide Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days before the desired termination date. If Landlord desires to terminate the tenancy, Landlord must provide Tenant written notice at least thirty (30) days before the desired termination date. Landlord and Tenant agree that these notice periods modify and replace the notice periods of 68 P.S. § 250.501(b) to the extent permitted by 68 P.S. § 250.501(e), unless a longer nonwaivable notice period applies under local, subsidized-housing, federal, or other law. Notices to terminate may be given on any calendar day, irrespective of the Commencement Date.

2. Rent. Under this Agreement, "Rent" means all monetary obligations owed to Landlord by Tenant in accordance with this Agreement, except the Security Deposit. Tenant shall pay the Monthly Rent stated in the Data Schedule on the Rent due date stated in the Data Schedule. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, Rent for the first partial month shall be prorated at a daily rate equal to one-thirtieth (1/30) of the Monthly Rent, and the prorated first-month Rent stated in the Data Schedule shall be due on the Commencement Date.

Acceptable payment methods:

☐ Personal check

☐ Money order

☐ Cashier's check

☐ Electronic payment

Electronic payment details:

☐ Other

Other payment method:

Rent must be paid to the payee and under the payment address or instructions stated in the Data Schedule. If a check or similar sight order tendered by Tenant is dishonored, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the unpaid amount, the service charge permitted by 18 Pa.C.S. § 4105(e): not more than Fifty Dollars ($50), unless Landlord is charged financial-institution fees in excess of $50 as a result of the dishonored check or similar sight order, in which case the service charge may equal the actual amount of those fees. The statutory service charge applies only to checks or similar sight orders and only to the extent the statutory conditions for the charge are satisfied, including any required conspicuous notice. If any ACH, card, online, electronic, or other non-check payment is returned, rejected, reversed, charged back, declined, stopped, or otherwise fails, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual bank, processor, chargeback, reversal, or similar third-party fees incurred by Landlord and shall pay the returned-payment administrative charge, if any, stated in the Data Schedule. After any returned or failed payment, Landlord may require future payments by certified funds, cashier's check, money order, electronic good funds, or other immediately available funds acceptable to Landlord.

3. Security Deposit. Upon signing this Agreement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Security Deposit stated in the Data Schedule. The Security Deposit secures Tenant's obligations under this Agreement, including unpaid Rent, damages beyond ordinary wear and tear, and other amounts lawfully chargeable to Tenant. During the first year of the tenancy, the total of all escrow funds required by Landlord, including any refundable pet deposit, may not exceed two (2) months' Rent. Beginning with the second year of occupancy, Landlord may not retain more than one (1) month's Rent as a Security Deposit and must return or credit any excess as required by Pennsylvania law. After Tenant has occupied the Premises for five (5) years or more, Landlord may not require an additional Security Deposit because Rent increases.

4. Escrow of Deposit. If the Security Deposit exceeds One Hundred Dollars ($100), Landlord shall deposit it in an escrow account in a bank or other institution regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the Comptroller of the Currency, or the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and shall notify Tenant in writing of the name and address of the institution and the amount deposited; OR Landlord has instead furnished a guarantee bond as permitted by 68 P.S. § 250.511c, if this option is selected below. Beginning with the twenty-fifth (25th) month of the tenancy, any deposit over $100 shall be held in an interest-bearing account as required by law.

☐ Landlord has furnished a guarantee bond as permitted by 68 P.S. § 250.511c.

Depository institution name and address, if applicable:

5. Interest on Security Deposit. If the Security Deposit exceeds $100 and Tenant has occupied the Premises for at least twenty-four (24) months, then beginning with the twenty-fifth (25th) month of the tenancy, Landlord will pay Tenant the interest earned on the Security Deposit, less an administrative fee of up to one percent (1%) per annum of the deposit amount, payable annually on or about the anniversary date of this Agreement or as otherwise required by law. Tenant shall provide Landlord with Tenant's new forwarding address in writing at or before termination of the tenancy or surrender of the Premises; Tenant's failure to do so relieves Landlord of liability for double damages under 68 P.S. § 250.512(c), as provided in 68 P.S. § 250.512(e).

6. Timing of Return of Security Deposit. Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement or Tenant's surrender and Landlord's acceptance of the Premises, whichever first occurs, Landlord will provide Tenant with a written list of damages, if any, for which Landlord claims Tenant is liable and will return the balance of the Security Deposit, including any unpaid interest, after lawful deductions. Tenant must provide Landlord with Tenant's forwarding address in writing at or before surrender. If Landlord fails to provide the written damage list within the statutory period, Landlord forfeits the right to withhold any portion of the Security Deposit for damages, without limiting any rights Pennsylvania law allows for unpaid Rent or other lease breaches.

7. Use of Premises. The Premises may be used only as a private residential dwelling by Tenant and the following authorized occupants:

Authorized occupants:

Tenant may not permit any other person to reside at the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, except as required by applicable fair housing, occupancy, or other law. Nothing in this section prohibits reasonable accommodation or modification rights required by law. No part of the Premises may be used for carrying on any business, profession, or trade, except that the incidental home-office option may be selected below.

☐ Tenant may conduct incidental home-office work that involves no employees, client visits, signage, inventory storage, or increased traffic at the Premises, provided such use complies with all laws and does not affect Landlord's insurance.

Tenant shall comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, and orders of governmental or quasi-governmental authorities affecting the cleanliness, use, occupancy, and preservation of the Premises.

8. Condition of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has had an opportunity to inspect the Premises before signing this Agreement. Except as otherwise reported to Landlord in writing within five (5) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant accepts the Premises in clean and tenantable condition. This acknowledgment does not waive Landlord's duties under applicable law, including any nonwaivable duty to provide and maintain habitable premises.

9. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign this Agreement or sublet or grant any license to use the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord. A consent by Landlord to one such assignment, subletting, or license is not consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or license. An assignment, subletting, or license without Landlord's prior written consent or an assignment or subletting by operation of law is null and void and may, at Landlord's option, terminate this Agreement.

10. Alterations and Improvements. Tenant shall make no alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, except as required by applicable fair housing or disability accommodation law. Landlord may condition approval on lawful restoration requirements, permits, insurance, and use of qualified contractors. Any alterations, changes, or improvements built, constructed, or placed on the Premises by Tenant shall, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, become the property of Landlord and remain on the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

11. Non-Delivery of Possession. If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon the commencement of the lease term through no fault of Landlord or Landlord's agents, Landlord and Landlord's agents have no liability, but Rent abates until possession is given. Landlord or Landlord's agents have thirty (30) days in which to give possession, and if possession is tendered within that time, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises and pay Rent from that date. If possession cannot be delivered within that thirty (30) day period through no fault of Landlord or Landlord's agents, either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice, and Landlord will promptly return any Rent and Security Deposit paid for periods after termination, less lawful deductions unrelated to non-delivery.

12. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms. Landlord shall provide smoke alarms as required by applicable building and fire codes and, if the Premises contain a fossil-fuel-burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or attached garage, an operational carbon monoxide alarm as required by the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Standards Act, 35 Pa.C.S. § 7220 et seq. Tenant shall keep all alarms operational, replace batteries as needed, test alarms periodically, and immediately notify Landlord in writing of any inoperable alarm. Tenant shall not disable, remove, or obstruct any alarm.

13. Utilities. Utilities and services will be provided and paid as follows:

For each utility or service below, check the responsible party:

Tenant shall place all utilities for which Tenant is responsible in Tenant's own name promptly after the Commencement Date and shall not permit any such service to be disconnected for nonpayment during the tenancy. Tenant is responsible only for utilities that are separately metered or otherwise lawfully chargeable to Tenant and identified above.

14. Maintenance and Repair; Rules. Tenant must keep the Premises and appurtenances clean and sanitary, use the Premises and fixtures in a reasonable manner, promptly notify Landlord in writing of needed repairs, and pay for damage caused by Tenant, occupants, household members, guests, invitees, pets, or assistance animals beyond ordinary wear and tear.

17. Damage to Premises. If the Premises are destroyed or rendered wholly uninhabitable by fire, storm, earthquake, or other casualty not caused by the negligence or other act of Tenant, occupants, guests, invitees, pets, or assistance animals, this Agreement terminates from that time except for the purpose of enforcing rights that may have then accrued. Rent shall then be accounted for by and between Landlord and Tenant up to the time of such casualty, Tenant paying Rent up to that date and Landlord refunding Rent collected beyond that date. If only part of the Premises is rendered uninhabitable and the casualty was not caused by Tenant, occupants, guests, invitees, pets, or assistance animals, Landlord may either repair the damaged portion within a reasonable time or terminate this Agreement by written notice.

20. Tenant's Hold Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises with Landlord's consent after the natural expiration of this Agreement, a new month-to-month tenancy will be created between Landlord and Tenant, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement except that monthly Rent shall be the Holdover Monthly Rent stated in the Data Schedule, if any. Either party may terminate the holdover month-to-month tenancy by giving thirty (30) days' written notice, unless a different nonwaivable notice period applies under applicable law.

21. Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration of the term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in as good a state and condition as they were at the commencement of this Agreement, except for reasonable use and wear and tear and damage by the elements.

(b) a one-time non-refundable pet fee of $, which is not a deposit and compensates Landlord for pet-related wear, cleaning, and administration; and

(c) monthly pet rent of $, if applicable.

Tenant remains responsible for damage beyond ordinary wear and tear caused by any animal to the extent permitted by law.

23. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in material default beyond any required notice or cure period, Tenant may peacefully and quietly possess and enjoy the Premises during the Term, subject to this Agreement and applicable law.

24. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury to Tenant, Tenant's household members, guests, invitees, agents, or employees, or to any person entering the Premises or the building of which the Premises are a part, or to goods or equipment therein, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees arising from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant's breach of this Agreement, or any act or neglect of Tenant, occupants, household members, guests, invitees, pets, assistance animals, or persons under Tenant's control, except to the extent caused by Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct, breach of this Agreement, or violation of applicable law. Nothing in this § waives the implied warranty of habitability or any liability that cannot be waived by law.

25. Default. If Tenant defaults, Landlord may give any Notice to Quit required or permitted by 68 P.S. § 250.501 and applicable law. Select one:

☐ Statutory notice applies. Unless a different nonwaivable rule applies, Landlord will give the statutory notice required by 68 P.S. § 250.501, including at least ten (10) days' notice for nonpayment of Rent and at least fifteen (15) or thirty (30) days' notice for other breaches, as applicable.

Landlord may provide a Notice to Quit by serving it personally on Tenant, by leaving it at the principal building on the Premises, by posting it conspicuously on the leased Premises, or by any other method permitted by applicable law. If Tenant defaults and Landlord terminates Tenant's right of possession, Tenant remains liable for Rent and other lawful charges as they become due, subject to Landlord's duty to mitigate damages and any limits imposed by applicable law. At Landlord's option, Rent payable during the remainder of the term or any renewal period may be declared immediately due and payable without further notice or demand, subject to credit for all net rent actually received by Landlord from reletting the Premises during that period. Tenant remains liable to Landlord for: (a) lost Rent and other lawful financial obligations under this Agreement; (b) Landlord's cost of reletting the Premises, including leasing fees, utility charges, and other reasonable fees necessary to relet the Premises; (c) repairs to the Premises for damage beyond normal wear and tear; (d) court costs, costs of service, prejudgment interest, and reasonable attorney's fees to the extent permitted by law; (e) lawful costs of collecting amounts due under this Agreement, including debt collection fees, late charges, and returned-payment charges; and (f) any other recovery to which Landlord is entitled by law or in equity. Landlord is obligated to make all reasonable efforts to mitigate any damage or loss resulting from Tenant's breach by attempting to relet the Premises to acceptable tenants and thereby reducing Tenant's liability.

To the extent distraint is available under 68 P.S. § 250.302 and other applicable law, Landlord may distrain only qualifying, nonexempt personal property and only by following all statutory procedures. Nothing in this Agreement permits unlawful lockout, utility shutoff, breach of the peace, seizure outside lawful process, or any other self-help remedy prohibited by applicable law.

26. Federally Covered Property. ☐ Applicable. The Premises are a "covered property" under 15 U.S.C. § 9058, such as a property with a federally backed mortgage or participation in a covered housing program.

28. Late Charge. If Rent or another amount due under this Agreement is not received within three (3) days after its due date, Tenant must pay the late fee stated in the Data Schedule. The late fee is intended to compensate Landlord for administrative costs, inconvenience, and loss caused by late payment and is not intended as a penalty. The late fee must be reasonable under applicable law.

29. Abandonment. If at any time during the term of this Agreement Tenant abandons the Premises or any part thereof, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, obtain possession of the Premises in the manner provided by law, without becoming liable to Tenant for damages or for any payment. Landlord may, at Landlord's discretion and as agent for Tenant, relet the Premises, or any part of the Premises, for all or any part of the then-unexpired Term, and may receive and collect all rent payable by virtue of such reletting. Landlord may hold Tenant liable for any difference between the Rent that would have been payable under this Agreement during the balance of the unexpired Term if this Agreement had continued in force and the net rent for such period realized by Landlord by means of such reletting.

If Tenant has relinquished possession of the Premises within the meaning of 68 P.S. § 250.505a and personal property remains on the Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice as required by that section. If Tenant does not retrieve the property or respond within ten (10) days of the postmark of the notice, the property may be disposed of as permitted by law. If Tenant responds within ten (10) days requesting storage, Landlord will retain or store the property at a site of Landlord's choosing for up to thirty (30) days, and Tenant shall be responsible for reasonable storage costs to the extent permitted by 68 P.S. § 250.505a. After expiration of the applicable period, Landlord may dispose of remaining property without further liability to Tenant.

30. Attorneys' Fees.
