What can happen to me if i don't renew my lease without 30 days notice prior?

Generally you are not required to give a 30-day notice in order to refuse to renew your lease-- unless the lease is automatically renewed each year. If that's the case then you need to give proper notice or your deposit may be forfeited.

Can a landlord just tell you to vacate if your lease is up in Pennsylvania?

You bet they can. Some leases have language in them that say they automatically renew for another year, and other leases contain language that says they turn into a month-to-month lease. Your landlord would have to evict you if they wanted you out if the lease contains either of those clauses. Barring that, at the end of your one year lease, you have no title to that apartment if the landlord chooses not to renew your lease. No landlord in PA is specially obligated to renew any lease. If you've been a good tenant, they probably will, but if you've been a pain to deal with, they're probably not going to renew you and they'll try their luck with another tenant.


What step can you take your wife put you out of the house and wants you to renew the lease for her?

The first step would be not to take out (or renew) the lease on any dwelling that you do not plan on living in. Legally if your name is on the lease you are responsible for the monthly rent. If the two of you have children together - who live with her, you need to come to a decision about what to do, so the children don't end up on the street. But you have no legal responsibility to sign a lease for her.

Who can renew a lease?

A tenant if that right is granted in the lease to the tenant or is a tenant's right because of a law. Normally a landlord can't renew a lease except for specific reasons -- one is called a "holdover". That's where the tenant should have moved out because the lease is over, but doesn't. In that case the lease may grant the landlord the right to consider the lease "renewed" for a period of time. As to a law, there are some places where if you have an oral lease for a year and you as the landlord fail to notify the tenant within a certain time period before the end of the lease that the landlord won't renew, it may be too late and the tenant can "automatically" renew if it wants. There are also leases called "proprietary" leases, which are leases between a building cooperative corporation and the people who own shares in the building corporation and have the exclusive right to a cooperative apartment in the building; it is something that "renews" constantly unless the shareholder breaks the lease or sells the shares.
