Average Household Impact
- Renter notice-to-vacate minimum — Federal 30-day requirement repealed
The details
Landlords whose properties carry a federally backed mortgage would no longer have to give tenants 30 days' notice before requiring them to leave. That notice rule came from the CARES Act in 2020 and still applies today, even though the eviction moratorium it accompanied has expired. Repealing it would leave notice periods to state and local law. Where state rules are shorter, renters in these properties could face faster move-out timelines. The change is a single repeal, with nothing put in its place.
