Disclaimers

We'd rather over-explain our boundaries than let you assume something we never promised. Here they are, in plain English.

We are an information service, not a law firm or filer

Philly Rental Compliance is an information and software-workflow service. We report what supported City of Philadelphia public records show about your property and organize owner-provided information. We are not a law firm, filing service, property manager, or inspector, and we do not provide legal advice. For legal questions, consult a licensed Pennsylvania attorney.

The City controls its records, outcomes, and timelines

The City of Philadelphia controls its own records, reviews, and processing times. We report what the City's public data shows; we cannot and do not guarantee City outcomes or timelines.

Some items aren't in public data, so we flag those

Some requirements aren't in the City's published data, such as your lead-safe/lead-free certificate or business-tax standing. We flag those clearly for you to confirm, rather than guessing or implying a pass.

Descriptions of City of Philadelphia requirements on this site summarize the City's published guidance and name the official source pages wherever we state a rule. They're provided for general information. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed Pennsylvania attorney.
