2 Specific Pennsylvania Landlord Questions

[Peter L.]

So unrelated questions regarding 2 of my rental properties in PA:  

1. Does a neighbor have a legal claim to me as homeowner for the transgressions of my tenant? This is basically related to a noisy, rude, and all together obnoxious family which I rent to, despite my pretty extensive screening. 

2. We are deciding to liquidate another property that is currently occupied by a tenant that has been there about 1 year 6 months. After the first year, the lease automatically reverted to a month to month lease arrangement which mandates 30 days notice to vacate by either party. Does terminating this lease arrangement with greater than 60 days notice (essentially we will inform them by certified mail that we do not intend to maintain the least past XXX date) count as eviction (with all the joys of that), or a simple lease termination? I want the house empty to prepare it for the market and do not want to deal with convincing a tenant to keep the place staged.

Thanks in advance!
