HR 1078 would strike the CARES Act's 30-day eviction notice requirement, leaving notice periods to state and local law.
30-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill would remove the CARES Act provision requiring landlords of certain federally backed rental properties to give tenants at least 30 days' notice before eviction for nonpayment of rent. Landlords would instead follow whatever state or local eviction notice rules apply.
Who does it affect?
Renters and landlords in properties with federally backed mortgages, such as those tied to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or HUD programs.
Why does it matter?
Eviction notice timelines for affected tenants could get shorter or longer depending on state law, since the federal 30-day floor would no longer apply.
