On May 30, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) issued a Request for Input on tenant protections. This exercise could result in the adoption of a range of negative policies including national rent control, a “source of income” mandate requiring acceptance of Section 8 vouchers, just cause eviction requirements that effectively prohibit nonrenewals, and extended notice procedures for residents in federally-backed properties, to name a few.

As the FHFA considers expanding federal landlord and tenant requirements on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-backed properties, it is essential for members of the rental housing industry like you to provide perspective about your business practices.

The feedback FHFA receives will inform their future decision-making, so it is critical that the agency hears directly from our industry. This is your chance to engage directly to protect your business and your communities from potential harmful policies!

The deadline to submit comments is July 31.
