Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
In Lancaster, PA. A residential lease has a one year automatic renewal clause, signed by all parties. Is the landlord required to give written notice when the automatic renewal is approaching? Is the automatic renewal invalid if such notice is not given? Or, in that case, can the tenant merely give sufficient written notice some months into the "automatic renewal" and move out without the penalties stipulated in the automatic renewal?

It really depends on what the lease says. It should specify what short of notice is required. Generally what happens is the automatic renewal is due to kick in but the landlord want so he presents you with a new lease. However, if the increase is either automatic upon renewal or there is no increase then the landlord might say nothing unless the lease requires.
However, without seeing the lease it would be impossible to say for sure.
