What does this do?
This bill removes the CARES Act requirement that landlords of certain federally backed rental properties give tenants at least 30 days' notice before eviction for nonpayment of rent. Notice periods would instead be governed entirely by state and local law.
Who does it affect?
This affects tenants living in properties with federally backed mortgages, such as those insured by the FHA or backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and the landlords who own those properties.
Why does it matter?
Without the federal rule, notice periods before eviction proceedings would vary by state or locality, potentially giving some tenants shorter notice while giving landlords more flexibility to follow only state and local timelines.
