Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse announced Wednesday that he has extended the eviction moratorium through May 15.
This fourth extension continues to temporarily suspend the eviction, ejectment or displacement of tenants or occupants from any residential dwelling unit or rooming house, according to a press release.
“This extension of the eviction moratorium will continue to help protect our residents during these challenging times,” Papenfuse said.
The renewable 30-day suspension of evictions only applies to eviction for non-payment of rent. It has no effect on evictions related to criminal activity, threats to the health and safety of other residents, or damage to property, according to the release.
The suspension of evictions only applies to eviction for non-payment of rent but a tenant can still be evicted for other reasons and is still obligated to pay rent.
