The contractor is referred to as a 'landlord-tenant officer,' but is not a member of law enforcement. Instead, the position is deputized by a private law firm contracted by the city.
, Shuter’s firm is contracted through Philadelphia’s Municipal Court’s president judge David Shuter, who is also her husband. Several legal experts and housing advocates interviewed by WHYY expressed their concerns over the conflict of interest, where Judge Shuter’s rulings on eviction cases might have led to profits for his wife’s law firm.
The tenants sought to postpone their eviction in October, according to the Inquirer, claiming the landlord had failed to make the promised repairs. A judge denied their petition in February. In Pennsylvania, employees like landlord-tenant officers are allowed to carry guns while they are enforcing court orders, provided they have proper certification.
