A Pennsylvania Writ of Certiorari Section 8 Tenant's Supersedes Affidavit is a legal document used by a tenant in Pennsylvania to stay an eviction order. This type of affidavit is typically filed with the court in response to an eviction order issued against the tenant. The affidavit is used to demonstrate that the tenant has the financial means to pay their rent and should not be evicted. It is also used to demonstrate that the tenant is willing to comply with the terms of the lease and will not cause any further issues. There are two types of Pennsylvania Writ of Certiorari Section 8 Tenant's Supersedes Affidavit: an emergency stay affidavit and a supersedes affidavit. An emergency stay affidavit is used to immediately halt an eviction order, while a supersedes affidavit is used to delay an eviction until a hearing can be held. Both affidavits must be signed by the tenant and notarized by a public notary.
