Some Tenants Could Get Only One Day's Eviction Notice, Under Federal Bill
Briefly

Federal legislation introduced seeks to allow landlords to evict tenants with as little as three days' notice, reversing tenant protections established during the pandemic under the CARES Act. Although the eviction moratorium expired, a 30-day notice requirement for federally-subsidized housing tenants remains. Advocates for the new bill assert that this requirement strains landlords and argue for state-level eviction laws. The bill was introduced by Republican senators, indicating ongoing debates about federal versus state jurisdiction in housing regulations and the balance of landlord and tenant rights post-pandemic.
Landlords must give tenants in federally-subsidized housing at least 30 days' notice before evicting them for nonpayment of rent. Advocates claim this requirement unfairly burdens landlords.
Cindy Hyde-Smith stated that the federal government's intervention in housing regulations has placed significant stress on landlords, and it's time to acknowledge that pandemic precautions were temporary.
