How will the new tenant protections from FHFA impact renters and landlords? Starting February 28, 2025, new policies by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will require 30-day notices for rent increases and lease expirations, and a 5-day grace period for rent payments. This is a significant step toward ensuring clearer communication and better understanding of rights and responsibilities for tenants. As a Realtor, it's essential to stay informed about these changes and how they can affect the rental market. These protections are designed to create a more stable and transparent environment for both tenants and landlords. Let’s work together to navigate these changes and ensure a smooth transition for all. #RealEstate #TenantRights #FHFA #RentalHousing #PropertyManagement
