Congress allocated more than $46 billion in emergency assistance to help people cover
00:09
rent and utilities, but not everyone who is behind on rent qualifies for the help.
00:15
Additionally, landlords and tenants typically need to work together to apply for the aid
00:20
and some landlords are refusing to help.
00:23
Eviction programs also require that landlords forgive a portion of the rent owed and not
00:29
many are willing to do that.
00:32
Eviction bans are in place until June 30th, but this doesn't mean your landlord can't
00:37
charge you late fees, nor does this prevent them from being able to turn you over to a
00:41
collections agency.
00:43
NerdWallet reports that while some states have an easy application process, others don't
00:48
and will require a lot of documentation.
00:52
You can search what programs are available in your area by looking up your city and state
00:57
with the words Emergency Rental Assistance.
01:00
If your income took a hit during the pandemic and you can prove you're facing homelessness,
01:05
then you most likely qualify for assistance according to Forbes.
01:09
Since you're likely to be jumping through hoops to get this, it's best to get started
01:13
on the process before the June 30th deadline.
