Governor, attorney general announce order preventing evictions, foreclosures

The order is through July 31.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Governor Wolf and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced on Thursday that the governor signed an executive order preventing evictions and foreclosures through July 10.

They wanted to be clear that you still owe the rent and mortgage payments. You can't be forced from your home, though, if you can't pay.

"We recognize that landlords need to put food on the table as well, and that's why we are clear that rent is still due, and landlords will work with you if you need some time of relief," said Shapiro. "The key is that eviction can't happened not only during this crisis but in the weeks and months thereafter."

The state also has programs for those struggling to pay rent or mortgage payments.
