Eviction rates are on the rise in Pennsylvania, including in the southeastern region of the state. A report released by the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania, titled "After The Pause: The Rise of Eviction Filings Post-Pandemic," analyzes eviction flings documented in the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts over a five-year span from July 2018 to June 2023. The report found the Keystone State’s eviction filings have surged back to figures not seen since 2019 after tenant protections and financial assistance programs helped to cut those levels in half during the COVID pandemic.
