Update on PA Eviction Moratorium CDC Eviction Moratorium The biggest change was the CDC order issued on Sept. 4 that imposed a nation-wide residential eviction moratorium through Dec. 31. The CDC’s eviction moratorium only prohibits evictions for non-payment of rent. Evictions for other reasons are not prohibited by the CDC eviction moratorium. To be protected from eviction under the CDC eviction moratorium, each adult tenant must complete and provide to the landlord an affi...davit under penalty of perjury certifying: The tenant has used best efforts to obtain all available government assistance for rent or housing; The tenant expects to earn less than $99,000 for the year or $198,000 if married filing jointly, did not report any income to the IRS in 2019 or receive a CARES stimulus check; The tenant is unable to pay rent in full due to substantial loss of household income, loss of compensable hours or work or layoffs or out-of-pocket medical expenses of at least 7.5% of a tenant’s annual income; The tenant is making best efforts to make timely partial rental payments; If evicted, the tenant would become homeless, need to move into a homeless shelter or have to move in with someone else in close quarters; The tenant understands that the tenant still owes all rent and any fees, penalties or interest due for untimely rent; and The tenant can be evicted on Dec. 31, 2020, if all past-due rent, fees, penalties or interest remain unpaid. A tenant is able to provide the affidavit to the landlord either prior to the commencement of eviction efforts or at any time during eviction proceedings. Eviction is broadly defined as any action by a landlord, owner of a residential property or other person with a legal right to pursue eviction or a possessory action. Based on this definition, prohibited actions could include issuing or posting a notice to quit, filing an eviction complaint or requesting a writ of possession. The definitions of a covered person and eviction are expansive enough that this moratorium may even prevent ejectment actions against unlawful occupants. Violations by landlords of the CDC eviction moratorium can result in significant criminal penalties of up to $100,000 and one year in jail if a person does not die and $250,000 and one year in jail if a person dies. If the landlord is an organization, such as an LLC or corporation, the fine can be up to $200,000 if no one dies and $500,000 if a person dies. There are a lot of questions regarding this eviction moratorium that remain unanswered at this time. Several county court systems have entered orders regarding the handling of evictions in light of the CDC eviction moratorium. Landlords should first check with the legal counsel and their local courts before for current eviction procedures and requirements. There is currently at least one legal case challenging the ability of the CDC to issue its eviction moratorium.
