Thank you to Charles Cox for this one, who sent out this information posted by April Charney:
The Court found that the bank must serve bona fide tenants a 90-day notice under the PTFA, even if the eviction is based on non-payment of rent (which required only a 3-day notice under state law). The ruling follows on the heels of a Massachusetts decision with similar reasoning, FNMA v. Vidal.
