@Robert StoverIt depends on the potential title issues and whether the defendants would actively contest the quiet title action.

Agreed, neither you or your attorney can actually do anything to defend the suit....that’s on the lender.One the other issues....if someone moves and doesn’t change their official,address with the bank or property appraiser office....there is no defense to not being served.....hiding from service doesn’t stop the process.As for the escrow thing, yeah irrelevant and not grounds for much of anything.Attorneys, especially when filing a suit they think has little merit, will throw out a bunch of allegations....they probably know they’ll lose but they’re getting paid to do it, right?

If you have homeowner's insurance and someone sues you then the insurance company pays a lawyer to defend you.

We currently rent to 2 other friends, one has been there 3 years, the other moved in June 1st, and is the senior minister at our church.We are on good terms with all of them.Will this practice bite us in the rear at some point?

Yes, the risk is huge, you have to understand what's going on, and be able to defend your position. 

Or, defend it against a desperate borrower. 

It's an interesting perspective From the report:"But it also is true that Morris does not have to return to the country to defend himself if he has an attorney here representing him.However, if he simply tried to ignore a lawsuit and not engage local counsel, she said the plaintiff could win a default judgment against him.And because these are civil cases, rather than criminal, a court would not take action to extradite a defendant to bring them to trial"

The male tenant tried to be chivalrous and defend the female's honor and got decked for his troubles.This is in a class A area with rent averaging over $250/night (pre-Covid). 

There is no reason for Wolf to end the moratorium if it is upheld since unemployment is likely to remain elevated for a while and tenants aren't going to quickly catch up on back rent.I can't see how the PA Supreme Court upholds the moratorium since the legislature declared an end to the emergency and I don't think the governor can defend an unbounded eviction/foreclosure moratorium. 

Trial starts, defendant shows up and the landlord does not recognize the defendant.
