The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced this week that it will continue to prohibit the eviction of tenants for nonpayment of rent from HUD-subsidized public housing and properties with project-based rental assistance even after the expiration this fall of state eviction moratoria. The new HUD rule, published on Thursday, requires landlords to provide tenants with a 30-day notice period that includes information about (in California’s case) $5.2 billion available to renters through federal emergency rental assistance. “For many months, our Department has worked with landlords and owners who do business with HUD to ensure they access the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and do everything they can to keep people housed,” said HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. “This rule is a significant step in raising tenant awareness about the availability of funds that can assist them with past due rent and allowing them additional time to access relief that may stave off eviction entirely.”
