30-Day Notification Requirement Prior To Termination of Lease for Nonpayment of Rent

Résumé

This final rule provides that public housing agencies (PHAs) and owners of properties receiving project-based rental assistance (PBRA) must provide written notification to tenants facing eviction for nonpayment of rent 30 days prior to filing a formal judicial eviction procedure. For purposes of this rule, PBRA and other forms of project rental assistance includes projects in the following programs: Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance, Section 202/162 Project Assistance Contract (PAC), Section 202 Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC), Section 811 PRAC, Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Program (811 PRA), and Senior Preservation Rental Assistance Contract Projects (SPRAC). This final rule largely adopts the proposed rule and, in response to public comments, has been revised to include additional requirements in the 30-day notice and to clarify the timing of the notice.
