Philadelphia is brutal for landlords….. I have had my share of bad tenants… so I’ve done it a couple ways. The most successful way I have found was to let the tenant keep their stuff in the house for 30 days however, I had someone move in and stay there. Lots of pictures with proof of date….. (Had to pay them but was worth it) Tenant was not allowed to enter without me physically being there, and they had to schedule it this way worked out best for me less out-of-pocket. The person that was staying there for me I had them do minor repairs and maintenance and flip them a few extra dollars to get the property occupied and I didn’t have to move any of the previous tenants belongings. When the tenant did decide to come and pick up their stuff they only picked up a few things and left the rest anyway, leaving me to have to clean it out with the property remained safe and secure. Hope it helps!
