On July 1, Philadelphia Mayor James Kenney signed into law what is now known as the Emergency Housing Protection Act (EHPA), a package of bills intended to provide relief to renters in Philadelphia affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EHPA extends the statewide eviction moratorium through Aug. 31 for Philadelphia, requires landlords to enter into hardship repayment agreements with tenants who are experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, requires mediation between landlords and such tenants before evictions can take place, and imposes significant civil and criminal penalties on landlords and others who utilize self-help measures against defaulting tenants.
