Pennsylvania Supplemental Instructions for Obtaining a Stay of Eviction are specific court orders that can help tenants living in Pennsylvania to delay an eviction. There are two main types of stays of eviction: an emergency stay and a postponement stay. An emergency stay is available when a tenant’s life, health, or safety is at risk. To obtain an emergency stay, tenants must file an emergency petition with the court and provide proof that an emergency exists. This stay can last up to 10 days. A postponement stay is available when the tenant can prove that they will suffer extreme hardship if they are evicted. To obtain this stay, tenants must file a postponement petition with the court and provide evidence that they are facing extreme hardship. This stay can last up to 90 days. Both stays of eviction require tenants to provide proof of the emergency or extreme hardship and may require the tenant to pay court costs. It is important to note that these stays of eviction can only delay an eviction, and the tenant will still be liable for the rent they owe after the stay has expired.
