HUD will publish an interim final rule tomorrow in the Federal Register that revokes the 2021 interim final rule and 2024 final rule requiring PHAs and owners of project-based rental assistance (PBRA) properties to provide certain tenants with 30-day notification prior to termination of lease for nonpayment of rent. This rule becomes effective 30 days after its scheduled publication tomorrow, Feb. 26, 2026.
This interim final rule returns HUD’s regulations on notice of lease termination for nonpayment of rent to what they were before publication of the 2021 interim final rule. The new rule removes provisions requiring PHAs and owners to include certain information in their notice to tenants of lease termination for nonpayment of rent. It also removes language that prohibited PHAs and owners from providing tenants with a notice of termination prior to the day after the rent is due according to the lease.
