Emergency Rental Assistance Reform Amendment Act of 2025 modifies eviction procedures for tenants with approved Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

The Emergency Rental Assistance Reform Amendment Act of 2025 amends eviction procedures in the District of Columbia. If a tenant with an approved Emergency Rental Assistance Program application notifies the housing provider 48 hours before an eviction for non-payment of rent, the eviction must be rescheduled to allow time for the application to be processed and funding to be distributed. This rescheduling provides a grace period of at least three weeks. The act also includes a fiscal impact statement and specifies the effective date of the legislation.
