I don't think so. It is my understanding that if there is an oral lease in Pa, then it falls back to the landlord tenant act.
Someone who knows more may give you a better answer soon. --50.32.xxx.xx |

Without a written lease you simply go by the state guidelines for leasing a property. I believe it becomes a month to month term. --76.247.xxx.xxx |

I do not know PA law, but I seriously doubt that a written lease is required for a LL to sue a T for rent on a MTM residential property.
I am assuming that you have a lease; you just have an oral lease and not a written lease. If you do not have any kind of agreement, either oral or written or implied -- for example, if a squatter simply occupied your property -- then you probably have no legal right to rent.

Do you mean a WRITTEN lease, or any lease at all? You can collect rent under an oral lease. If you truly have no lease, then by definition you can not collect rent because rent is something paid under a lease. You could sue the occupant under other legal basis such as unjust enrichment. This cannot be done in Landlord-Tenant Court; it has to be in Common Pleas. --73.141.xxx.xxx |

Only if you intend to collect the rent with any regularity - the occupant could say it cost 300 per quarter and you have only a prayer that is incorrect, if you have been praying without success a written monthly lease would be the next step, download your state/local tenant rules before making or modifying a lease or entering courtroom - both parties should have signed the lease. --76.188.xxx.xxx |

Based on my recollection of the PA Landlord Act, a written lease is only required when the rental term is greater than 2 (or 3) years. When no written lease is present, Tenancy is on a month to month basis. Hope this helps.

Oral lease is legal in PA and as stated above is treated as month to month. With an oral lease you can collect rent and if not paid you can evict per state law. --108.32.xx.xxx |
