The novel COVID-19 pandemic rocked our world in 2020—the legal world being no exception. It forced legislatures, court systems and legal practitioners to change the way we do business, especially in the area of landlord-tenant law. Over the better part of 2020, we were faced with (and continue to face) a public health emergency, whose very resolution required keeping people safely housed in order to stay home and socially distanced. For Philadelphia, it accelerated the need for real world, common sense solutions to an already existing housing crisis. As you read on, we will briefly explore the state of this area of law prior to COVID-19, changes brought by the Emergency Housing Protection Act (EHPA), the challenges tenants continue to face and concerns moving forward.
