Philadelphia Courts Closed through end of May

First Judicial District just announced they are not processing evictions until June.

https://www.inquirer.com/healt...

Knowing Philadelphia, once June rolls around it will take months to process all the new filings.

It puts property owners in a terrible situation since the government has the power to limit private evictions (no changing locks or constructive evictions) with the threat of civil and criminal penalty, yet they can close the only legal route to reclaim use of Private property rightfully owned and due to the owner. 

What are other owners and managers doing at this time? It seems the only legal recourse is to remind tenants they will be contractually obligated for all missed rent and fees, but are you even confident they will be? Trust in the legal system seems to be shaken...
