Rent
How much can my landlord raise rent in Pennsylvania?
There's no limit. Pennsylvania has no statewide rent control, and no Pennsylvania city has it in practice. The rent is fixed during a lease term; at renewal or on a month-to-month tenancy a landlord can raise it with proper written notice.

Your protection is the lease and the notice rule — a landlord can't raise rent mid-term, and must give proper notice to change it.
