WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-written
This bill shifts power over how much warning tenants get before having to move out from the federal government back to individual states and localities for a specific group of rental homes. If it becomes law, someone renting an apartment covered by these rules might have less time to find a new place if their state or city has a short notice requirement, potentially making housing transitions more difficult.
If the bill doesn't pass, the 30-day federal minimum notice for these properties stays, giving tenants more stability and time to plan their next steps.
KEY PROVISIONS
2AI-extracted
PROVISION 01
Amends the CARES Act by striking subsection (c) of section 4024.
This action eliminates the federal requirement for landlords to provide a minimum of 30 days' notice to vacate for certain rental properties.
PROVISION 02
Eliminates the federal 30-day notice period that landlords of covered properties must provide tenants before requiring them to vacate.
This empowers state and local laws to exclusively govern the notice period landlords must give tenants in these properties.
