What the agency says
The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is issuing this proposed rule to carry out the purposes of section 1001 of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (the Act or the ROAD Act). Section 1001 of the ROAD Act prohibits large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, subject to certain exceptions. The proposed rule would clarify certain terms relevant to those restrictions, including "large institutional investor"; clarify the application of certain exceptions from the statutory prohibition; and clarify the statutory enforcement mechanism. The proposed rule is intended to provide clarity to market participants and other stakeholders on the application of the statute before the effective date of the ROAD Act.
