HUD Pauses Eviction Notice Changes Amid Legal and Feedback Review
Published Date: 3/13/2026
Rule
Summary
HUD is hitting the pause button on a new rule that would have stopped the 30-day heads-up before evicting tenants for not paying rent. This means public housing tenants and property owners won’t see changes just yet, as HUD reviews feedback and legal challenges. No rent-related notices are changing for now, so everyone can breathe easy until HUD decides the next move.

30-Day Eviction Notice Stays in Place
On March 13, 2026, HUD indefinitely delayed the March 30, 2026 effective date of a rule that would have revoked the requirement for at least 30 days' notice before terminating a lease for nonpayment of rent. This delay means current notice practices for public housing tenants and owners of properties receiving project-based rental assistance remain unchanged while HUD considers comments (comments are still due April 27, 2026).
