Rent Relief

Los Angeles County announced rent relief grants of up to $40,000 for small-business tenants in unincorporated areas who have fallen behind on their rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With a statewide eviction moratorium ending, officials in California are rushing to make sure tenants with unpaid rent know they can still stay in their homes after that date — but only if they have applied for assistance from the state.

Los Angeles renters and landlords can apply for additional rental assistance through a state program that city officials say will allow checks to get to qualified applicants quicker.

It’s part of the continuing effort to help renters during the COVID pandemic. Gordon Tokumatsu reports for the NBC4 News on Friday, Aug. 27, 2021.
