Are you a landlord or even a tenant in Pennsylvania?
Eviction Moratorium Extension
The U.S. Center for Disease Control extended its eviction moratorium through June 30, 2021. No substantive changes to the eviction moratorium were made with this latest extension.
Tenants wishing to be protected by the CDC moratorium must provide the landlord or property manager with an affidavit attesting to:
-
Tenant has used best efforts to obtain all available government assistance;
-
Tenant’s income is no more than $99,000 per year for an individual or $198,000 for joint returns;
-
Tenant is unable to pay the full rental amount due to a substantial loss of household income, loss of compensable hours of work or wages, a layoff or extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses;
-
Tenant is making best efforts to make timely partial payments and
-
An eviction would likely render the tenant homeless or force the tenant to move into and live in close quarters with others.
Evictions for non-payment of rent are allowed to proceed until a tenant provides the affidavit. Landlords also have the right to challenge the truthfulness of a tenant’s affidavit.
Thanks!
