Wolf hints he will extend Pennsylvania eviction moratorium

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf is hinting that he’ll reverse himself and extend Pennsylvania’s moratorium on evictions beyond August after shielding renters for almost six months from losing their homes for failing to pay rent during the pandemic. Wolf, a Democrat, last week said he doesn’t have the legal authority to extend the moratorium beyond the end of August, and urged the Republican-controlled General Assembly to pass legislation to extend it. On Monday, he said he no longer stands by his decision to let it expire, but said “you have to wait and see” if he extends it.
