HUD Speeds Up Evictions: Goodbye 30-Day Rent Warnings
Published Date: 2/26/2026
Rule
Summary
Starting March 30, 2026, public housing agencies and owners of certain assisted properties no longer have to give tenants a 30-day heads-up before ending a lease for not paying rent. Instead, they’ll follow the old rules, which can be as short as 5 days depending on local laws. This change means quicker lease terminations and less paperwork for landlords, but tenants should watch their local rules closely!
