align it with the Supreme Court’ s finding in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. An appropriately scoped revision to the WOTUS definition would provide much-needed clarity and regulatory relief for developers across the country as they work to meet the nation’ s rental housing needs.
• FCC Withdraws Bulk Billing Ban: Federal Communications Commission( FCC) Chair Brendan Carr withdrew a Biden-era proposal from circulation that would have banned broadband bulk billing arrangements between property owners and internet service providers, including jeopardizing existing contracts. The Commission’ s move ensures that residents can continue to benefit from economies of scale, decreased costs and increased access to highquality internet services in rental communities.
• Efficiency Standards Postponed: The U. S. Department of Energy( DOE) announced actions to postpone mandated efficiency standards for home appliances, including air conditioners, washers and dryers and water heaters.
• Energy Conservation Standards Delayed: DOE delayed the effective date for a new, final rule that changes the energy conservation standards for gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. Implementation is delayed until May 20, 2025.
• HOME Investment Partnerships Program Delayed: HUD has further delayed its HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Updates & Streamlining Final Rule, which imposed ten new federallymandated landlord-tenant requirements for covered housing. Leases would have to include the HOME tenancy addendum, which lays out new rights and responsibilities, such as significant " good cause " limitations on terminations of tenancy, anti-retaliation protections and the right to organize for tenants in covered housing. The tenancy addendum allows tenants to organize, create tenant associations, convene meetings, distribute literature, and post information. The new effective date is October 30, 2025.
• FTC Removes Confusing Blog Guidance: The Federal Trade Commission( FTC) removed 300 blog postings from its website, including business guidance by blog which made it difficult for the rental housing industry to understand changes to their federal compliance responsibilities. Blog entries, such as“ Price fixing by algorithm is still price fix ing” and“ Becoming a gold star property manager: Lessons from the FTC’ s case against Greystar,” circumvent the established rulemaking process under the Administrative Procedure Act and do not allow the public to comment as FTC imposed new standards. Using its blog, the FTC has reinterpreted or expanded its authority under existing laws.
Under the Biden Administration, the FTC also notably excluded the rental housing industry from a final rule on so-called“ junk fees.”
