The "Respect State Housing Laws Act" proposes to amend the CARES Act by eliminating a specific federal housing provision related to eviction notices. It achieves this by striking subsection (c) of Section 4024 , which currently mandates that lessors provide tenants with a 30-day notice before requiring them to vacate a covered dwelling. This legislative change would remove the federal requirement for a 30-day notice to vacate, effectively deferring such notice procedures to be governed by existing state and local housing laws . The bill aims to streamline housing regulations by ensuring that notice-to-vacate requirements are determined at the state and local level, rather than through a federal mandate.
