Official Note:
The Offense Tracking Number (OTN) is required only in an appeal in a criminal proceeding. It enables the Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts to collect and forward to the Pennsylvania State Police information pertaining to the disposition of all criminal cases as provided by the Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 9101[,] et seq.
The notice of appeal must include a statement that the order appealed from has been entered on the docket. The appellant does not need to certify that the order has been reduced to judgment. This omission does not eliminate the requirement of reducing an order to judgment before there is a final appealable order where required by applicable practice or case law.
Paragraph (b)(2) provides the authority for an appellate court to initialize captions in custody appeals. See also Pa.R.C.P. 1915.10. With respect to paragraph (e), in Commonwealth v. Dugger, 486 A.2d 382, 386 (Pa. 1985), the Supreme Court held that the Commonwealth’s certification that an order will terminate or sub-stantially handicap the prosecution is not subject to review as a prerequisite to the Superior Court’s review of the merits of the appeal. The principle in Dugger has been incorporated in and superseded by Pa.R.A.P. 311(d). Commonwealth v. Dixon, 907 A.2d 468, 471 n.8 (Pa. 2006). Thus, the need for a detailed analysis of the effect of the order, formerly necessarily a part of the Commonwealth’s appel-late brief, has been eliminated.
A party filing a cross-appeal should identify it as a cross-appeal in the notice of appeal to assure that the prothonotary will process the cross-appeal with the initial appeal. See also Pa.R.A.P. 2113, 2136, and 2185 regarding briefs in cross-appeals and Pa.R.A.P. 2322 regarding oral argument in multiple appeals.
Rule 907. Docketing of Appeal.
(a) Docketing of appeal.—Upon the receipt of the papers specified in Pa.R.A.P. 905(b) (transmission to appellate court), the prothonotary of the appellate court shall immediately enter the appeal upon the docket, note the appellate docket number upon the notice of appeal, and give writ-ten notice of the docket number assignment in person or by first class mail to the clerk of the trial court, to the appellant, and to the persons named in the proof of service accompanying the notice of appeal. [An appeal shall be docketed under the caption given to the matter in the trial court, with the appellant identified as such, but if such caption does not contain the name of the appellant, appellant’s name, identified as appellant, shall be added to the caption in the appellate court.] Unless an appellate court exercises its discretion, upon application of a party and for cause shown, to use the initials of the parties in an appeal of a custody action, the prothonotary of the appellate court shall docket an appeal under the caption given to the matter in the trial court. The appellant shall be identified in the caption. If the appellant is not identified in the caption of the trial court, the appellant’s name shall be added to the caption in the appellate court.
(b) Entry of appearance.—Upon the docketing of the appeal the prothonotary of the appellate court shall note on the record: as counsel for the appellant, the name of counsel, if any, set forth in or endorsed upon the notice of appeal[,]; counsel of record[,]; and any counsel named in the proof of service. The prothonotary of the appellate court shall upon praecipe of counsel filed within 30 days after the docketing of the notice of appeal correct the record of appearances. Also within 30 days after the docketing of the notice of appeal, counsel for a party may strike off his or her appearance by praecipe, unless that party is entitled by law to be represented by counsel on appeal. Thereafter, and at any time if a party is entitled by law to be represented by counsel on appeal, a counsel’s appearance for a party may not be withdrawn without leave of court, unless another lawyer has entered or simultaneously enters an appearance for the party.
Official Note:
Paragraph (a).—The transmission of a photocopy of the notice of appeal, showing a stamped nota-tion of filing and the appellate docket number assignment, without a letter of transmittal or other formalities, will constitute full compliance with the notice requirement of paragraph (a) of this rule.
A party may be entitled to the representation by counsel on appeal by constitution, statute, rule, and case law. For example, the Rules of Criminal Procedure require counsel appointed by the trial court to continue representation through direct appeal. Pa.R.Crim.P. 120(A)(4) and Pa.R.Crim.P. 122(B)(2). Similarly, the Rules of Criminal Procedure require counsel appointed in post-conviction proceedings to continue representation throughout the proceedings, including any appeal from the disposition of the petition for post-conviction collateral relief. Pa.R.Crim.P. 904(F)(2) and Pa.R.Crim.P. 904(H)(2)(b). The same is true when counsel enters an appearance on behalf of a juvenile in a delinquency matter or on behalf of a child or other party in a dependency matter. Pa.R.J.C.P. 150(B), 151, Pa.R.J.C.P. 1150(B), 1151(B), (E). It would be rare for counsel in such cases to consider withdrawing by praecipe, but the 2020 amendment to the rule avoids any possibility of confusion by clarifying that withdrawal by praecipe is available only in matters that do not otherwise require court permission to withdraw.
If a party is entitled to representation on appeal, the appellate court will presume that counsel who represented the party in the trial court will also represent the party on appeal, and counsel will be entered on the appellate court docket. In order to withdraw in such cases, either (1) new counsel must enter an appearance in the appellate court prior to or at the time of withdrawal; (2) counsel must provide the appellate court with an order of the trial court authorizing withdrawal; or (3) counsel must petition the appellate court to withdraw as counsel. Counsel for parties entitled to representation on appeal are cautioned that if any critical filing in the appellate process is omitted because of an omission by counsel, and if the party ordinarily would lose appeal rights because of that omission, counsel may be subject to discipline.
When an appeal is filed in a custody action, upon application of a party and for cause shown the appellate court may make a determination that using the parties’ initials in the caption is appropriate after considering the sensitive nature of the facts included in the case record and the child’s best interest. See Pa.R.A.P. 904(b)(2).
Paragraph (b).—With respect to appearances by new counsel following the initial docketing appear-ances [pursuant to paragraph (b) of this rule], please note the requirements of Pa.R.A.P. 120.

It is Ordered pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania that Rules 1915.10 and 1930.1 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure are amended in the attached form.

(b) The court shall enter a custody order as a separate written order or in a separate section of a written opinion.
(1) The court’s order shall state sufficiently specific terms to enforce the order.
(2) If the court has made a finding that a party or child is at risk of harm, the court’s order shall include safety provisions for the endangered party’s or child’s protection.
(3) The court may order that the case caption use the parties’ initials rather than the parties’ names based on the sensitive nature of the facts in the case record and the child’s best interest.
Note: See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.1(a).

(i) avoid using specific identifiers for people, places, or things that may indirectly reveal the child’s identity; and
(ii) use generalized identifiers when describing a child’s school, activities, affiliated organizations, or other simi-lar terms.
* * *
Comment — 2021
Subdivision (b)(3) allows the court discretion to initialize a custody action’s case caption when the child’s privacy may be compromised by the sensitive nature of the facts in the case record. When the court determines that the case caption should be initialized, additional privacy safeguards are required under subdivision (b)(4).
Subdivision (b)(4) recognizes that inadvertent disclosure of the child’s identity and privacy may occur if the written custody order or opinion provides specific details of the child’s life (i.e., school, extracurricular activities). Subdivision (b)(4) requires that the court refrain from using specific identifiers; instead, the court should use general terms (i.e., high school, not John F. Kennedy High School). In circumstances in which name specificity is required, such as school choice, the court should consider a separate order for that issue.
Rule 1930.1. Form of Caption. Confidential Information and Confidential Documents. Certification
(a) Form of Caption.
(1) Except as set forth in subdivision (2), the caption in a domestic relations matter shall include the parties’ full names. The form of the caption [in all domestic relations matters] shall be substantially in the following form:
In the Court of Common Pleas of _______ County, Pennsylvania
[Note: As domestic relations matters are no longer quasi-criminal, the phrase ‘‘Commonwealth ex rel.’’ shall not be used in the caption of any domestic relations matter.]
(2) In a custody action, the court may order that the case caption contain the parties’ initials rather than the parties’ names based on the sensitive nature of the facts in the case record and the child’s best interest.
Note: See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915.10(b)(3).
* * *
Comment — 2021
Subdivision (a)(1) requires that the parties’ full names are used in a domestic rela-tions case caption unless the court determines it necessary to protect the child’s identity by initializing the case caption in a custody action based on sensitive facts in the case and the child’s best interest. Generally, a child custody case does not include sensitive information or egregious facts that would cause embarrassment to a child and necessitate exceptional privacy measures; however, in the unusual circumstance that a custody action has egregious facts that may cause an issue for the child, the trial court would have the discretion to initial-ize the caption in order to maintain the child’s privacy interests.
Subdivision (a)(2) provides the exception to the general rule in subdivision (a)(1) for a custody action in which the court deems that the child could be adversely affected by the sensitive nature of the facts in the record. In a custody case in which the trial court determines the child’s best interest requires an initialized caption, Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915-10(b)(4) requires that additional privacy safeguards are in the written custody order or opinion entered by the court.
The rule’s requirement that a case caption use the parties’ full names does not alter a par-ty’s or an attorney’s responsibilities under the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania and subdivision (b).

(1) The Philadelphia Municipal Court’s Landlord-Tenant Officer is directed to not serve any alias writs of possession in residential cases until September 23, 2020. An alias writ of possession is served at the time of the eviction/lockout.
(2) The Philadelphia Municipal Court’s Landlord-Tenant Officer is permitted to serve sixty writs of possession in residential cases between September 8 and 12, 2020, and ninety writs of possession in residential cases between September 14 and 19, 2020. Beginning on September 21, 2020, there shall be no limit as to the number of writs of possession in residential cases that the Landlord-Tenant Officer may serve. Along with a writ of possession, the Landlord-Tenant Officer, shall serve a notice describing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s September 1, 2020 Order and a blank Declaration. A writ of possession is served prior to an eviction/lockout and provides notice than an eviction/lockout may follow. In residential cases in which a writ of possession is served, no eviction/lockout will occur any earlier than September 23, 2020.

from March 16, 2020 through and including November 2, 2020 shall be excluded from the computation of those time periods.

HONORABLE IDEE C. FOX President Judge, Court of Common Pleas Philadelphia County
Philadelphia Criminal Rule *700
Rule *700
(A) The judge who presided at the trial or who received the plea of guilty or nolo contendere shall impose sentence unless there are extraordinary circumstances which preclude the judge’s presence. In such event, another judge shall be assigned to impose sentence.
(B) The supervision of a defendant serving a sentence may be transferred to a judge other than the original sentencing judge in any of the following situations:
(1) The original sentencing judge has been transferred out of the Criminal Division and consents in writing to the transfer of the supervision;
(2) The case has been accepted into a First Judicial District reentry program and, after a hearing or in writing, the defendant and the original sentencing judge con-sent to supervision being transferred to a judge presiding over the reentry program;
(3) The defendant is facing a new sentencing in front of a different judge on a sepa-rate case and, after a hearing or in writing, the defendant and the original sentencing judge consent to supervision being transferred to the other judge; or
(4) There exist extraordinary circumstances, including death, incapacitation or retirement, which preclude the presence of the original sentencing judge.
Comment:Local Rule 700(A) tracks Pa.R.Crim.P. 700(A).Pa.R.Crim.P. 700 also governs sentencings that result from a violation of probation or parole. See Comm. v. McNeal, 120 A.3d 313 (Pa. Super. 2015). Accordingly, Local Rule 700(B) flows from Pa.R.Crim.P. 700(B), which invites promulgation of local rules to

expand the circumstances under which transfers from one judge to another may be made. Local Rule 700(B) reflects the recognition that transfers are appropriate under a variety of circumstances, including where a defendant has the opportunity to enter one of the First Judicial District’s reentry programs or in order to consolidate a violation hearing in front of the “back judge” with the sentencing for a new case in front of a different judge.

Trial Division – CriminalCourt of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County
FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA Public Access to Judicial Proceedings During the Covid-19 Pandemic-Livestream Policy On April 28, 2020 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an order1 directing that during the Covid-19 pandemic:
In proceedings as to which a right to public and press access would otherwise exist, provision must be made to ensure some reasonable means of access. For example, with respect to a proceeding conducted using audio-visual means, such public access may be effectuated during the proceeding by providing live-stream access, or by making a recording available as soon as possible after the proceeding has been concluded.
In accordance with the above direction, the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania adopts the below process to ensure that the public2, will have reasonable means of access to judicial pro-ceedings. (1) Judicial Proceedings to Which the Right to Public Access Attaches.
Public access will be provided as set forth below to all proceedings which before the Covid-19 pandemic were open to the public. Those proceedings that were closed to the public before the Covid-19 pandemic will remain closed to the public regardless of whether they are conducted in-person or by using advanced communication technologies3.
1 See Supreme Court Order captioned Emergency Order of Statewide Judicial Administration, at Nos. 531 and 532 Judicial Administration Docket. Article I, Section 11 of the Pennsylvania Constitution mandates that “All courts shall be open…” 2 The term “public” in connection with this protocol includes the press and the media in general. 3 Generally, the public has access to all “judicial proceedings” unless certain case-types or pro-ceedings are statutorily closed to the public such as certain proceedings involving juveniles (see 42 Pa.C.S. § 6336) and incapacity proceedings. See 20 Pa. C.S. § 5511(a). Judges may also close certain hearings or proceedings as allowed by legal authority.
(2) In-Person Proceedings Conducted at a Judicial Facility. The public will be permitted to attend certain proceedings conducted in some judicial facilities when access to the judicial facility itself is authorized by federal, state and local authorities, and safeguards designed to insure the health and safety of court personnel, court users, and members of the public in light of the risks posed by the COVID-19 virus are in place. The number of people who may be reasonably admitted to a judicial facility or specific courtroom may be limited due to the reduced occupancy necessary to insure safe- distancing consistent with CDC and other federal, state and local health guidelines. As long as the public, albeit at a reasonably reduced number, is able to attend a judicial proceeding at a judicial facility, livestream or other remote access to that proceeding, as described below, will not be required even when the proceeding is conducted using advanced communication technologies.
(3) Access to Judicial Proceedings Conducted Using Advanced Communication
Technologies or Proceedings Conducted In-Person where Health Safeguards, Necessitated by Covid-19 risks, Prevent the Public to Attend. The public shall be provided access, as provided below, to judicial proceedings which are fully conducted utilizing advanced communication technologies, as well as in-person proceedings that are conducted in a facility where COVID-19 restrictions on occupancy do not allow for attendance by the public.
(4) Access to Judicial Proceedings to the Parties and to the Public. In-person attendance of judicial proceedings is available in certain facilities and case types.
Zoom is the primary advanced communication technology used by the First Judicial District to conduct remote proceedings although other advanced communication tech-nologies are utilized in some facilities or in connection with certain proceedings. Only the participants to the proceedings will be sent a digital invite or will be able to par-ticipate remotely utilizing advanced communication technologies pursuant to protocols established from time to time.
The public will be provided access to judicial proceedings as follows:
(a) Criminal Trials and other Criminal Judicial Proceedings.
(i) Court of Common Pleas Judicial Proceedings.
(1) Jury Trials. Due to current social distancing restrictions, the public
will not be permitted to attend in-person jury trials in the courtroom in which they will be held. Rather, the public will be provided in-person access to the Justice Stout Center for Criminal Justice and will be pro-vided livestream access to jury trials in alternate courtrooms or court facilities. The number of people permitted in any courtroom or court facility will depend on space available after necessary modifications are made designed to insure the health and safety of court personnel, court users, and members of the public which comply with social distancing requirements and guidance provided by the CDC and federal, state and local authorities.
(2) Non-Jury Trials and other Judicial Proceedings. The public will be
permitted to attend the judicial proceedings in-person, in the court-room in which the nonjury trials or other judicial proceedings are held. The number of people permitted in any courtroom or court facility will depend on space available after necessary modifications are made designed to insure the health and safety of court personnel, court users, and members of the public which comply with social distancing require-ments and guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and other federal, state and local authorities.
ii. Philadelphia Municipal Court. Non-Jury Trials and other Judicial
Proceedings. The public will be permitted to attend the judicial proceed-ings in-person, in the courtroom in which the non-jury trials or other judicial proceedings are held. The number of people permitted in any courtroom or court facility will depend on space available after necessary modifications are made designed to insure the health and safety of court personnel, court users, and members of the public which comply with social distancing requirements and guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and other federal, state and local authorities.
iii. Philadelphia Municipal Court Traffic Division.
The public will be permitted to attend the judicial proceedings in-person, in the courtroom in which the judicial proceedings are held. The number of people permitted in any courtroom or court facility will depend on space avail-able after necessary modifications are made designed to insure the health and safety of court personnel, court users, and members of the public which com-ply with social distancing requirements and guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and other federal, state and local authorities.
(b) Civil Trials and Other Civil Proceedings. (i) Court of Common Pleas: Trial Division - Civil and Orphans’ Court
Division. Until in-person access is available, the public will be able to access judicial proceedings remotely, on dedicated court YouTube channels. Public access may include video, audio or both. The links to the judicial proceed-ings will be posted by the First Judicial District at: www.courts.phila.gov/livestreams. The judicial proceedings will be streamed live and will not be available for viewing after the livestream concludes.
(ii) Philadelphia Municipal Court-Civil Division. Until in-person access is available, the public may access judicial proceedings by requesting to listen to a recording of those proceedings. Recordings shall be made available to the public for listening upon request as soon as possible after the proceeding has concluded. By calling 215-686-2910, the public may initiate a request to schedule a time for listening to a court proceeding at a reasonable time and location designated by the court. An official transcript shall continue to constitute the only official record of a court proceeding.

(5) Judicial Proceedings cannot be recorded, transmitted or broadcast.
Reasonable efforts, verbally or in writing, shall be made to remind the public that judicial proceedings cannot be recorded, transmitted or broadcast and of the consequences for doing so, essentially as follows:
It is unlawful and a criminal offense to record, transmit or broadcast video, audio or photograph of any judicial proceeding and violators may be found to be in contempt of court and may be criminally charged with a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of up to two years for a first offense. See Pa.R.J.A. 1910, Pa.R.Crim.P. 112 and 18 Pa.C.S. § 5103.1.
(6) Protective Measures. When specific legally sufficient facts, supported by current case law on excluding or limiting the public from an open courtroom, are presented to enable the Court to con-clude a witness may be subject to being intimidated or otherwise threatened should the testimony, identity or images of the witness be disclosed, the Court may take reasonable steps to safeguard the identity and privacy of the witness by limiting public access via livestream by:
(a) affording the victim or witness an opportunity to proceed via a pseudonym in any technology-assisted hearing, and upon such election direct by court order all parties and witnesses to refer to the victim or witness via the pseudonym;
(b) interrupting the video stream and temporarily permitting only audio streaming;
(c) temporarily interrupting the livestream during the testimony of a witness; or
(d) taking other appropriate measures designed to safeguard the privacy, identity and safety of the witness. This provision does not limit the Court’s ability to exclude or limit the public from judicial proceedings for other reasons as established under applicable case law when necessary.
(7) Proceedings Not Subject to this Policy. Judicial proceedings conducted utilizing the
Ring Central platform will be made available to the public as specifically provided in a separate protocol or policy.
(8) Effective Date. Judicial proceedings scheduled on or after September 8, 2020 shall be
accessible by the public as provided in this Policy. Judicial proceedings scheduled before September 8, 2020 shall be accessible to the public consistent with the protocol in effect when scheduled.

In re: Residential Eviction Moratorium
ORDER
AND NOW, this 17th day of September, 2020, pursuant to Pa.R.J.A. No 1952 (B)(2), the Judicial Emergency declared by the First Judicial District, and upon consideration of the Order from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) dated September 1, 2020 regarding tem-porarily halting certain residential evictions beginning September 4, 2020 through December 31, 2020 to prevent further spread of COVID-19, it is hereby ORDERED and DECREED that as to cases filed in the Trial Division of the Court of Common Pleas:
(1) The CDC Order4 halts evictions of tenants, lessees, and residents of a residential property (col-lectively “tenants”) who complete a Declaration for the Temporary Halt in Evictions to Prevent Further Spread of Covid-19 (“Declaration”) and give the completed Declaration to their land-lord5. Tenants who complete and provide an executed Declaration are still generally required to pay rent and must follow all of the other terms of their lease. Tenants may still be evicted for reasons other than not paying rent or making a housing payment. Landlord’s obligations under the lease continue as well.
4 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-eviction-declaration.html 5 The “Landlord” definition includes the owner of the residential property where they live, or other person who has a right to have them evicted or removed from where they live.

(2) The CDC Declaration form is available at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/down-loads/declaration-form.pdf, and is attached to this Order. The Declaration contains the follow-ing general statements: that tenants (1) have made best efforts to obtain government assistance for rent, (2) meet certain income requirements, (3) are unable to pay the full rent due to loss of household income or work, (4) have made best efforts to make timely partial payments that are as close to full payment as circumstances permit, and (5) would likely be homeless or forced to move into close-quarters housing if evicted.
(3) After the Declaration is completed and signed, tenants must give or send the Declaration to their landlord by email, regular mail, fax or in person. An Affidavit of Service may be required from the tenant establishing how service of the Declaration on the landlord was accomplished.
(4) Ejectment actions (which include landlord-tenant actions) will be accepted for filing by the Office of Judicial Records pursuant to the applicable statutes and rules governing those ac-tions subject to the restrictions in the CDC Order and this Order. However, the Plaintiff must include a “Plaintiff’s Affidavit in Connection with The CDC Order and Temporary Halt in Evictions to Prevent further Spread of Covid-19” (“Affidavit”), as attached, stating whether or not they have received a Declaration from the tenant as required by the CDC Order and whether the action is subject to the CDC stay or not. If the landlord acknowledges receipt of the Declaration but disputes tenant’s compliance with the CDC Order or entitlement to the CDC stay, the action will be accepted for filing, and will nonetheless be stayed unless the landlord files a motion to determine the tenant’s eligibility for the stay based on the CDC requirements and obtains an order of Court lifting the stay. The Office of Judicial Records shall reject the filing if the Af-fidavit is not attached.
(5) In pending Landlord-Tenant appeals and Ejectment actions, no judgments of possession will be entered, or writs of possession will be issued, or supersedeas terminated unless the landlord files a motion representing that the landlord did not receive the Declaration from the tenant or that the tenant is not entitled to the CDC stay and obtains an order from the Court for the relief requested.
(6) Any person violating the CDC Order is subject to criminal prosecution, which may result in incarceration and the imposition of fines.
THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION’S TEMPORARY HALT IN EVICTIONS TO PREVENT FURTHER SPREAD OF COVID-19
This declaration is for tenants, lessees, or residents of residential properties who are covered by the CDC’s order temporarily halting residential evictions (not including foreclosures on home mortgages) to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. Under the CDC’s order you must provide a copy of this declaration to your landlord, owner of the residential property where you live, or other person who has a right to have you evicted or removed from where you live. Each adult listed on the lease, rental agreement, or housing contract should complete this declaration. Unless the CDC order is extended, changed, or ended, the order prevents you from being evicted or removed from where you are living through December 31, 2020. You are still required to pay rent and follow all the other terms of your lease and rules of the place where you live. You may also still be evicted for reasons other than not paying rent or making a housing payment. This declaration is sworn testimony, meaning that you can be prosecuted, go to jail, or pay a fine if you lie, mislead, or omit important information.
I certify under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing are true and correct:
• I have used best efforts to obtain all available government assistance for rent or housing;6
• I either expect to earn no more than $99,000 in annual income for Calendar Year 2020 (or no more than $198,000 if filing a joint tax return), was not required to report any income in 2019 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or received an Economic Impact Payment (stimulus check) pursuant to Section 2201 of the CARES Act;
• I am unable to pay my full rent or make a full housing payment due to substantial loss of household income, loss of compensable hours of work or wages, lay-offs, or extraor-dinary7 out-of-pocket medical expenses;
6 “Available government assistance” means any governmental rental or housing payment benefits available to the individual or any household member.7 An “extraordinary” medical expense is any unreimbursed medical expense likely to exceed 7.5% of one’s adjusted gross income for the year.
• I am using best efforts to make timely partial payments that are as close to the full pay-ment as the individual’s circumstances may permit, taking into account other nondis-cretionary expenses;
• If evicted I would likely become homeless, need to move into a homeless shelter, or need to move into a new residence shared by other people who live in close quarters because I have no other available housing options.8
• I understand that I must still pay rent or make a housing payment, and comply with other obligations that I may have under my tenancy, lease agreement, or similar contract. I further understand that fees, penalties, or interest for not paying rent or making a housing payment on time as required by my tenancy, lease agreement, or similar contract may still be charged or collected.
• I further understand that at the end of this temporary halt on evictions on December 31, 2020, my housing provider may require payment in full for all payments not made prior to and during the temporary halt and failure to pay may make me subject to eviction pursuant to state and local laws.
I understand that any false or misleading statements or omissions may result in criminal and civil actions for fines, penalties, damages, or imprisonment. ____________________________________________ ______________________
