The CARES Act 30-Day Notice Requirement may be nearing its end, but housing providers shouldn't change course just yet.

Recent announcements from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac indicate they will no longer enforce CARES Act compliance requirements related to the 30-day notice to vacate. While that's welcome news for many housing providers, the underlying federal law remains in place.

In this blog, Eric Pettis explains what the recent policy changes actually mean, why the 30-day notice requirement still matters, and what housing providers should be doing now to avoid unnecessary legal risk.

Fraud prevention starts with what you do right now!

Housing providers can take immediate steps to reduce application fraud risk, including:
• Audit Your Current Screening Process
• Upgrade to Bank-Direct Income Verification
• Implement Document Authentication Technology

Fraud often succeeds in fast‑moving environments where speed outweighs scrutiny.

Small, immediate adjustments in how applications are reviewed can significantly reduce exposure.

Fraud detection is an ongoing risk.

As rental application fraud becomes more sophisticated, housing providers need to strengthen how applications are reviewed and verified.

Key strategies may include:
• Cross‑checking income and employment details across multiple sources, rather than relying on a single document
• Verifying identity through layered methods, not just uploaded IDs
• Looking for inconsistencies across applications, supporting documents, and communication
• Documenting screening decisions to support consistency and defensibility

Fraud often succeeds when processes are rushed, inconsistent, or overly reliant on surface review.

Stronger verification practices help prevent costly issues after move‑in.
