Philadelphia Rental License Help for Landlords and Property Managers

Get Help With Your Rental License in Philadelphia

If you're a landlord in Philadelphia, getting your rental license is a critical step before legally renting your property. The city’s ECLIPSE Rental Licensing system can be confusing, especially when you're juggling other requirements like zoning certificates, lead safe testing, and registering a managing agent. At Lead Dust Sampling, we simplify the process so you can get licensed fast and stay compliant.

What Is the ECLIPSE Rental License in Philadelphia?

Philadelphia uses the ECLIPSE system (Electronic Commercial Licensing, Inspection & Permit Services Enterprise) to manage all rental licenses. Landlords must apply through this online platform and upload required documents such as:

  • Lead Safe certification (if property was built before 1978)

  • Proof of zoning approval for rental use

  • Managing agent authorization (if the owner does not live locally)

Our team can help you navigate the ECLIPSE rental license application from start to finish.

We Help You Resolve Zoning and Certificate of Occupancy Issues

Are you stuck trying to prove your property is properly zoned or that you have the required certificate of occupancy for a Philadelphia rental license? These are common issues that delay or block license approvals—and we help you resolve them as part of our full-service rental license support.

When you hire us to help you get your rental license, we’ll walk you through the full process, including:

  • Looking up your zoning classification to confirm your property is eligible for residential rental use

  • Verifying your certificate of occupancy using the city’s public records and archives

  • Flagging missing documents or mismatches before you apply through the ECLIPSE rental licensing system

  • Helping you avoid delays, rejections, or unnecessary filings with the City

If you’ve hit a wall with paperwork or just want someone to handle it all for you, we’re here to make the process fast, smooth, and stress-free.

Managing Agent Requirements for a Rental License

If you don’t live in Philadelphia, the City requires you to appoint a managing agent. This person or company will be legally responsible for communication with the city and tenants. We can assist with completing the managing agent registration and submitting it to ECLIPSE.
