The Extreme Heat Eviction Protection Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Rental Housing Act of 1985 by prohibiting housing providers from evicting tenants on days when the temperature is forecasted to exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The bill specifies that this prediction must be made by the National Weather Service at 8:00 a.m. on the day in question.
To implement this change, the bill includes specific amendments to Section 501(k) of the Rental Housing Act. It replaces certain phrases to clarify the conditions under which evictions cannot occur, specifically adding a new provision that directly addresses the temperature threshold. The act will take effect following the necessary approval processes, including a potential congressional review period.
