The Extreme Heat Eviction Protection Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Rental Housing Act of 1985 to prohibit housing providers from evicting tenants on days when the temperature is forecasted to exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This legislation aims to protect tenants from being displaced during extreme heat conditions, which can pose significant health risks.

The bill includes specific amendments to Section 501(k) of the Rental Housing Act. It modifies existing language by replacing certain phrases and introduces a new provision that explicitly states that evictions cannot occur on days when the National Weather Service predicts temperatures above the specified threshold. This change is intended to enhance tenant protections during periods of extreme heat.
