Fannie Mae has extended its multifamily COVID-19 forbearance program through March 31, 2021, three months past its original sunset date of December 31, 2020.
To qualify forbearance coverage, multifamily owners must agree to suspend all evictions for renters unable to make rent payments during the forbearance period, according to an announcement from Fannie Mae.
