Wolf says he might extend eviction, foreclosure moratorium

Expressing concern Pennsylvanians could be at higher risk for COVID-19 if they don’t have stable housing, Gov. Tom Wolf said Monday that he “might” issue a new executive order that puts a temporary ban on evictions and foreclosures.

Wolf made the announcement at the end of an unrelated press conference Monday, the same day that his 60-day moratorium on evictions and foreclosures expired.

It came just days after Wolf said he could not extend the eviction ban, a claim that legal analysts met with skepticism.

Wolf said a new order would not come Monday. Instead, he implied he might take action Tuesday, the day that judges can resume processing many of the eviction claims that are currently stalled in Pennsylvania courts.
