Yes, in Pennsylvania a landlord can evict a tenant for no specific reason if there’s no written lease agreement or the lease has expired and is not being renewed; in that case, the landlord can terminate a month‑to‑month or holdover tenancy without cause. However, the landlord must give proper written notice (typically at least 15 days if the tenant has been there less than one year, or 30 days if more than one year) before beginning the eviction process, and must obtain a court order to remove the tenant.
Landlords cannot legally evict by self‑help (like changing locks or shutting off utilities). They must follow the formal eviction (landlord/tenant) process in court.
