Respect State Housing Laws Act
United States119th CongressHR-1078House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 25, 2026
Summary
The "Respect State Housing Laws Act" proposes to amend the CARES Act by striking subsection (c) of Section 4024 . This specific subsection currently mandates that lessors provide tenants with a 30-day notice to vacate before they can file for eviction. This requirement applies to properties that are covered by the CARES Act, such as those with federally backed mortgages or participating in federal housing programs. By removing this federal provision, the bill aims to eliminate a uniform federal eviction notice period . The intent is to allow state and local housing laws to solely govern the notice requirements for tenants to vacate, thereby altering the federal government's role in eviction procedures.
