Philadelphia Rental License

[Chris Lin]

Hi everyone,

I currently own a duplex in Philadelphia PA. I live in one unit and the tenant lives in the second unit. The tenant moved out in November. So both units are occupied by the owner now. We will not rent out the unit for at least six months to one year. However, the rental license is about to expire in January 2023. So my question is can I renew the rental even though the unit is occupied by me now? Or Should I let the rental license expire and reapply when I am ready to rent out the duplex?

Thanks
