Reply to comment by Will2428 in Can a landlord send me an Eviction notice by regular postal mail in Philadelphia. by Will2428

It may well be a letter reminding you because IF you don't pay double in March as you verbally agreed to, he is one step ahead in the magistrate's eyes when it comes time to file for eviction/possession. Normally you aren't in danger until something is sent certified. For really bad situations a constable will hand deliver it to you or post it on your door.

I did not know that even existed.

It would have to be Certified mail?

Read your lease. Terms should be clearly stated.

Certified mail would be the way (should it go further) that they sent it.

You both have discussed the situation. You suggest you know what is coming. You have been put on notice. First class is legal.

You can always fight it on that basis in court, but I doubt Philly judges will put much weight into that type of argument. Pay your rent or move. Landlord has bills, too. Property tax, mortgage, etc.
