Is the Philadelphia rental market in trouble? Today we’re breaking down the latest October 2025 data, uncovering a major price correction in one key neighborhood and detailing a critical new city law all landlords must know.

In this video, we cover:

• Philly's New Economic Status: Why the city's drop in poverty rate is a "powerful long-term indicator" and signals a stronger tenant base.  

• The Gen Z Factor: The national trend making Gen Z a "generation of renters" due to high home prices, ensuring a growing demand for quality rental housing in Philadelphia.  

• City-Wide Rental Snapshot: The average time on the market (51 days) and the typical price drop ($50) between listed and closed prices for September.  

• Neighborhood Deep Dive: 19135: We analyze the Visanoming, Tacony, and Frankford area, a "strong cash flow market" that's renting 11 days faster than the city average.  

• The $300 Price Drop Warning: Despite high demand, learn why this zip code saw a significant median closed price correction (from $1,300 to $1,000).  

• CRITICAL New Law Alert: A full breakdown of the Philadelphia security deposit law, effective early December 2025, requiring landlords with three or more units to offer installment plans for deposits over one month's rent.  

• The Penalty for Landlords: What you risk if you fail to comply with the new installment plan rule.
