Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro proposes sealing eviction records to aid over 115,000 tenants.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is pushing for a law to seal eviction records to help over 115,000 tenants who faced eviction filings in 2024. The proposal aims to give renters a fresh start by sealing records even if the eviction wasn't upheld, as these filings can negatively impact their future housing and job prospects. Though the state legislature is divided, the initiative underscores the need to address housing instability and poverty.
