Local rental-rule jurisdiction detected

Common screen: Philadelphia Code Chapter 9-800 covers landlord-tenant rental rules, including rent-increase notice and unfair rental practice rules, but it is not a building-level rent-stabilization registry like NYC or LA.

Verify the unit through Philadelphia's official rental license, tenant-rights, and code sources. This does not infer a unit-level rent cap.
