Rent Notice Requirements
Important Notice About Rent Notice Requirements
HUD Policy Update
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a new rule that changes the notice requirements for non-payment of rent.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Housing Authorities were required to provide 30 days' notice before terminating a lease for non-payment of rent.
HUD has now rescinded that temporary rule.
What This Means
Beginning in 2026, HUD regulations return to pre-pandemic requirements.
For Public Housing Residents, the required notice for non-payment of rent will be:
At least 14 day written notice before lease termination.
- Rent due on the 1st
- Rent is late after the 7th
- $25 late fee applied on the 8th
- Court filing after the 14th on any resident account with a balance due
When This Change Will Take Effect at GHA
Greer Housing Authority will implement this change after providing notice to residents.
The expected implementation date is May 1, 2026.
Until that time, GHA will continue following the 30-day notice practice currently in place.
Important Reminder
If you are having difficulty paying rent, please contact the office before your account becomes delinquent so we can discuss available options.
