Philadelphia Code · Managing Agent Requirement
Solving compliance challenges for Philadelphia property owners
Philadelphia requires owners who don't live in the city to designate a local managing agent with a physical Philadelphia address, alongside a Rental License, Commercial Activity License, and a Certificate of Rental Suitability for every tenant. Get compliant for as little as $500 a year.
Appointing a Managing Agent
Out-of-city owners must name a managing agent who lives or works in Philadelphia and accepts responsibility for the property. We fill that role so you meet L&I's local-agent requirement.
Managing Agent Designation
Philadelphia's rental registration requires your managing agent's information. We give you a designation with those details, which you add to your rental registration and upload.
Ongoing Communication
We maintain communication with you, or with your property manager if you have one, so city notices reach the right people quickly.

That's where we come in.
