[PA] [PA] Can a landlord draft their own Notice to Quit?
It is very common to self draft (custom write) legal documents if there are no templates available online.
Additionally, there is no obligation to speak to the son of a tenant. One may choose to do so but it is not legally required.
Please let me know if you need further clarification. I’m sorry if he contacts you about things not pertaining to him.

Pennsylvania Notice to Quit
Full Conversation
I live in PA. Tomorrow, I am giving Notice to Quit to both my tenants with 30 days notice due to wanting to move into the house ourselves.
I couldn’t find a form online that fit our situation specifically so I typed one up with all the requirements. Is that okay?
Also I am having a very difficult time having to do this. I will hand it to them both in person when I collect rent for May, and try to keep conversation minimal as possible but I know the one tenant her son will most likely contact me and have a fit.
If he does contact me do I need to answer him? In the past he has threatened me with lawsuits. He was the previous owner of this home before me. Thank you!

I understand this must be a challenging situation for you. Have you consulted with a legal professional to ensure the notice you typed up meets all the necessary requirements under Pennsylvania law?
My lawyer told me to pull up a pa notice to quit online.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you documented any previous threats or interactions from the tenant's son in case it becomes necessary to involve law enforcement or legal counsel in the future?
No, but I have texts. It was nothing serious. Just constant annoyance.

Is there anything else the Landlord-Tenant Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your tenant notice.
There is no lease it’s been month to month since I purchased the home from my late boyfriend’s estate (inherited) in 2022.

Hey there! Welcome to AskaLawyer. I'm legalgems, an attorney with many years of experience. Just so you are aware, AskaLawyer is a legal information-only site. No attorney-client relationship is formed from our conversation.
That being said, you are asking:
-
Can a landlord can draft their own notice?
-
Does the landlord have an obligation to speak to the son of a tenant?
Correct.
legalgems
Thanks.
And the son lives on the property as well?
He does not.
This is the notice I drafted for one of the two tenants. Would you be okay reviewing it?
legalgems
Unfortunately, you would need to retain a lawyer to review and advise or amend legal documents. We are not a law firm so I am prohibited from doing that.
