Pennsylvania: Security deposits
Landlord and Tenant Act §511.1: first year max 2 months' rent; second and subsequent years max 1 month's rent. After 5 years in possession, rent increases don't require a larger deposit.
§511.2: deposits over $100 held in escrow; interest owed to tenant only on deposits held more than two years, landlord may retain 1%/yr admin fee.
The uploaded dataset lists a deposit-return period of 30 days. Review the cited rule for the applicable conditions and timing.
Pennsylvania: Rent regulation
No statewide rent control and no PA municipality currently has an ordinance in effect; municipal authority is legally unsettled, so preemption left null.
Pennsylvania: Licensing and registration
No statewide license. Many municipalities (e.g., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) require local rental licenses/registration and inspections.
