Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the CARES Act to remove a requirement on lessors to provide notice to vacate, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Respect State Housing Laws Act," seeks to amend the CARES Act, a law enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, by removing a specific requirement that lessors, or landlords, must provide a notice to vacate to tenants. The CARES Act, or Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, included provisions aimed at preventing evictions during the pandemic, and this bill proposes to eliminate one of those provisions, specifically subsection (c) of section 4024, which is found in the United States Code at 15 U.S.C. 9058. By striking this subsection, the bill aims to clarify that landlords are no longer obligated to issue a notice to vacate under this particular federal law, thereby allowing state and local housing laws to govern such matters.
