Philly Rental Compliance
Free compliance check
Rental licenses expire every 12 months on a rolling basis (12 months from issuance), so renewal dates vary property to property. Find out what your property needs

Stay licensed. Stay protected. Keep renting.

Rental licenses, lead certificates, CAL, BIRT, CRS — Philadelphia asks a lot of its landlords, on deadlines that are different for every property. We're a Philly-based filing service that handles the paperwork, coordinates certified lead testing, and tracks every renewal so it gets filed on time. Flat fees. Real humans. Nothing hidden.

The City permits authorized representatives to file license applications on a property owner's behalf.

Lead testing only by independent EPA-certified partner testers — never us.

Flat published fees; city and lab costs passed through at cost, itemized.

Every deadline tracked in a portal you can check any time.

Philly rental paperwork is boring — until it isn't.

Deadlines that drift

Rental licenses expire every 12 months on a rolling basis (12 months from issuance), so renewal dates vary property to property. — so every property has its own date, and no one from the City is going to chase you to renew.

Prerequisites that stack

CAL, BIRT registration, city tax standing, open L&I violations — a rental license generally sits on top of all of them, and a missing prerequisite can hold up the application.

Real consequences

An out-of-date license can limit your options as a landlord exactly when you need them — and catching up costs more than keeping up. Staying current is cheaper in every way.

Three steps, then it's handled.

  1. Tell us about your property

    Five minutes: address, year built, units, how you hold title. Then sign the service agreement and filing authorization online.

  2. We review and file

    We check your license, certificate, and prerequisite status against the City's records, coordinate an EPA-certified partner lead test if your property needs one, and file through eCLIPSE.

  3. Stay protected, year after year

    Your portal shows a live compliance scorecard. The plan tracks every expiration and files your renewal on time — with escalating reminders when we need something from you.

The full walkthrough, start to finish

What we handle

  • · Rental license applications and renewals (via eCLIPSE)
  • · CAL verification or application; BIRT registration guidance
  • · Lead-cert coordination with EPA-certified partner testers
  • · CRS generation walkthroughs and lease-event reminders
  • · Deadline tracking, escalating reminders, a live scorecard

What we deliberately don't

  • · Legal advice, lease drafting, eviction or dispute help — we're not a law firm
  • · Rent collection, marketing, showings — we're not a property manager
  • · Lead sampling itself — that's EPA-certified testers only
  • · Promises about City approval or processing times — no one controls those but the City

Two flat fees. Printed right here.

No quote requests, no "contact us for pricing." This is the price.

City fees, lab fees, and tester fees are separate — and always visible.

The City charges its own per-unit license fee, and lead testing is billed by the certified testing partner. We pass every one of those through at cost, as its own line item, before you pay. No bundling, no markup, no quote-request dance.
