Right to Sublet
In Pennsylvania, a tenant’s right to sublet depends on their lease agreement. This contract likely dictates whether subletting is permissible. If the lease included no mention of subletting or barred it, the landlord can still grant permission using a Landlord Consent Form.
Short-Term Tax
The 6% Pennsylvania Hotel Occupancy Tax applies to any residential rental arrangements of less than 30 days organized using online platforms or third-party brokers.[1] Additional county taxes may be imposed; for example, Philadelphia County charges an additional 1%.
