Pa evictions going right now

[Matt M.]

As far as we all knew, in Pennsylvania evictions couldn’t be filed until after July 11, per governors orders. A friend of mine was served with eviction papers yesterday with a hearing July 3. I called around to a bunch of local magistrate offices, and they all say no evictions until Monday July 13, except the office that filed on him, they said there was a Supreme Court ruling stating June 1 was fine for evictions. I told this office that none other in the area were doing evictions, and basically I was told “yeah well, we are, per the Supreme Court ruling”. How is this possible? And why wouldn’t they all go by this Supreme Court ruling?

So I’m Northampton Cty, I called Palmer, Forks, Easton, Bangor. They all said July 13. Bethlehem Twp said June 1 due to the Supreme Court ruling. Crazy.
