Compliance Update | November 2021
HUD Interim Final Rule

HUD published an Interim Final Rule titled Extension of Time and Required Disclosures for Notification of Nonpayment of Rent. HUD is taking public comments until Nov. 8, 2021.

The rule, as it is now, without comments, prohibits the eviction of residents facing eviction for nonpayment of rent without providing a 30-day notice period that includes information about available federal emergency rental assistance. This interim final rule (effective Nov. 8, 2021) applies to:
  • Public housing
  • Properties with project-based rental assistance (PBRA)
  • Section 8
  • Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation
  • Section 202/162 Project Assistance Contract
  • Section 202 Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC)
  • Section 811 PRAC
  • Section 236.

Separately, HUD has published a HSG Notice that explains this new rule’s authority and requires owner/agents to provide information regarding the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. See HSG Notice 2021-06: Supplemental Guidance to the Interim Final Rule "Extension of Time and Required Disclosures for Notification of Nonpayment of Rent"

In Summary, HUD plans to exercise their right to:
  • Expand the notice a covered landlord must give before such a tenant must vacate a unit from 14 days to 30 days;
  • Require landlords to provide information to the tenant regarding federal emergency rental relief along with the eviction notice; and
  • Require landlords to provide notice to all residents in public housing of the availability of emergency rental assistance.
