no statewide rule entry notice.
Pennsylvania has no statewide statute setting a specific amount of entry notice. The lease governs a landlord's right to enter, and reasonable notice is generally expected for non-emergency entry.
What this means for you: Your lease is the main source of entry rules here. A clause requiring notice is enforceable; without one, state law gives little guidance.
Your next step: Read your lease's access clause and object in writing to no-notice, non-emergency entries.
