The COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act
Local tenants and landlords can now apply for rental assistance through the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program.
- Landlords can get 80% of unpaid rent if they forgive the other 20%
- Tenants can get 25% of unpaid rent
- April 2020 - March 2021
- Paying 25% can help prevent eviction
The program clears some accumulated rental debt, keeps the hardest-hit families in their homes, and will lead to a more equitable economic recovery. The State program is for those who have experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19, have past due rent or utilities, and have a household income at or less than $58,800 (which is 80% of the area median household income). Landlords who participate in the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program can get reimbursed for 80% of an eligible renter’s unpaid rent between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, if they agree to waive the remaining 20% of unpaid rent.
