And what can your landlord do while you’re waiting for news on your application? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Does this extension of eviction protections mean there’s a statewide eviction moratorium again?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No. California’s statewide moratorium on evictions expired last fall, on Sept. 30, 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state’s COVID Rent Relief program has afforded its own kind of eviction protections, which started on Oct. 1, 2021. That’s because, since that date, \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/tenant/protection_guidelines.html\">any landlord wanting to evict a tenant for failing to pay rent as a result of COVID hardship needs to first apply for rental relief\u003c/a> before continuing with an eviction lawsuit. And renters affected by COVID hardship can prevent an eviction from moving forward if they show they’ve applied for the rent relief program as a defense in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909880/california-lawmakers-extend-eviction-protections-for-tenants-awaiting-rent-relief\">These protections would have expired on March 31\u003c/a>, but now have been extended through June 30 by California’s new legislation — although that’s only for people who applied for the rent relief program by March 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several cities and counties across the state had their own rent-related eviction moratoriums that stayed in place after the state moratorium expired. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11889738/covid-rent-relief-what-renters-and-landlords-need-to-know-as-californias-eviction-moratorium-ends#renters\">See if your Bay Area county still has an eviction moratorium.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888869\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11888869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT.jpg\" alt=\"A woman in a green sweater sits on a couch using a laptop.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For renters and property owners who’ve applied for rent relief, there are still several important things to know about eviction protections. \u003ccite>(Liza Summer/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>I applied for rent relief before March 31. Am I guaranteed to get the money?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state says that “\u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/resources.html\">all eligible applications received on or before March 31, 2022, for rent or utilities owed between April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2022, will be paid.\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, although the Department of Housing and Community Development maintains that their goal is to turn applications around in 30 days, \u003ca href=\"https://nationalequityatlas.org/CARentalAssistance\">the average wait time is much longer — four months, on average\u003c/a>, according to a recent report by the National Equity Atlas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state says as long as you’ve submitted your application by March 31, \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/resources.html\">you’ll still be able to access your application after that date\u003c/a> “to check the status, respond to tasks, and provide additional information requested by your case manager.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If I applied by the deadline, is there any chance my landlord could still try to evict me?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When the law is working as it should, if you filled out an application and hit “submit” on or before March 31, you should be protected from eviction under this law. But, that doesn’t mean the law always works as it should.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some tenant attorneys and advocates have reported clients who submitted an application that was still under review but received an eviction notice anyway. Usually, this is because the landlord either was not aware the tenant had applied or was falsely claiming their tenant hadn’t filed all the required documentation for the application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late March, the state attorney general’s office sent warning letters to 91 law firms representing landlords across the state, reminding them that filing false declarations is against the law.[pullquote size=\"large\" align=\"left\"]With the new state legislation, you can’t be evicted for not paying rent before March 31 — but you \u003cem>can\u003c/em> be evicted for nonpayment after that date.[/pullquote]“Filing false averments in court violates multiple state laws,” wrote Deputy Attorney General Hunter Landerholm, “as does maintaining such a case after learning that the declaration used to initiate it is false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter encouraged those law firms to “review” the eviction cases on file to “ensure that they comply with the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evictions \u003cem>are\u003c/em> still happening, said Madeline Howard, senior attorney at the Western Center on Law and Poverty, “because the protections are imperfect. And it’s really hard to enforce them without an attorney.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, a lawyer \u003cem>can\u003c/em> help a tenant combat these claims. So, if you applied for rent relief on or before March 31 and the application is still pending, but you’re getting an eviction notice, contact a lawyer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawhelpca.org/legal-information\">Find a legal aid office near you.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your landlord is asking for proof that you’ve applied to the rent relief program, Howard advises that you download your application document on the Housing Is Key website, and send that to them, to “make it very clear that you have applied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key thing to remember: For most tenants in California, starting April 1, landlords will still be able to take their tenants to court and start eviction proceedings over missed rent. That’s because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909880/california-lawmakers-extend-eviction-protections-for-tenants-awaiting-rent-relief\">this new state legislation\u003c/a> means a landlord can’t evict you for not paying rent you owed before March 31 — but it doesn’t protect you from eviction for not paying rent after that date.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>My city lets me apply for rent relief after March 31. Could I be evicted while waiting for funds?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you apply for rent relief, the funds will come either from the state or your own county, depending on where you live. You also can be eligible for both. When you \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/index.html\">applied through the state’s COVID rent relief portal\u003c/a>, you would have been directed to the right place to apply depending on your location, whether it’s state assistance or local assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909880/california-lawmakers-extend-eviction-protections-for-tenants-awaiting-rent-relief\">The state’s extension of eviction protections\u003c/a> only applies to tenants who applied for rent relief on or before March 31. That means that if you live in a jurisdiction where your city or county is administering the rent relief program (and it’s \u003cem>not\u003c/em> going through the state’s Housing Is Key program), and they allow you to submit an application for rent relief \u003cem>after\u003c/em> April 1, you could still be evicted even if you’re waiting on rent relief from your city or county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11864604\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11864604 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433.jpg\" alt=\"A person's hands touching money in a wallet\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433-800x500.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433-1536x960.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Landlords can still take tenants to court after April 1 for rent not paid after that date. \u003ccite>(Karolina Grabowska/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>What if my landlord \u003cem>is\u003c/em> threatening to evict me?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Howard said if you do get an eviction notice, “Please contact a legal aid office as soon as you can, because those cases move very, very quickly.” \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawhelpca.org/legal-information\">Find a legal aid office near you.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember, since the official state eviction moratorium expired Sept. 30, 2021, renters affected by COVID hardship could prevent an eviction from moving forward if they presented their pending relief application as a defense in court — and this new extension of eviction protections means that’ll now stay true through June 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the problems with the statewide protections is they’re very complicated and it’s really hard for a tenant to use the state protections if they don’t have an attorney,” Howard said. “And most tenants who face eviction have to go to court without an attorney.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the ACLU, \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/news/racial-justice/tenants-right-to-counsel-is-critical-to-fight-mass-evictions-and-advance-race-equity-during-the-pandemic-and-beyond/\">10% of tenants have an attorney in court, compared with 90% of landlords\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard’s colleague Lorraine López, senior attorney with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, recommends that you also look up community organizations and nonprofit legal services that assist tenants and access their information sheets, workshops and clinics to educate you about your rights in the event your landlord issues you with a legal notice. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawhelpca.org/legal-information\">Find a legal aid office near you\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also critical that you \u003cem>don’t move out\u003c/em>, said López. “We call this ‘self-eviction,'” she explains, and said while “many tenants think that a notice is enough to evict them, in California a landlord needs to get a court order to remove you from your home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So until a court has issued an order telling you to move? Don’t leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In some cities and counties, a landlord can face not only criminal penalties if they forcibly remove you from your home without a court order, but also monetary penalties if the tenant files a lawsuit. The moment you leave, you lose many valuable protections and you may even end up with a judgment against you,” said López.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If it’s taking so long to process the claims, what happens if I’m still waiting by June 30?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If your application is still pending after this extension expires, yes: You could be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s likely that many — tens of thousands of people — will find themselves in this category. Howard noted that an analysis of the rent relief program by the research group PolicyLink shows that at the current rate applications are being approved, \u003ca href=\"https://nationalequityatlas.org/CARentalAssistance\">some applicants will still be waiting for a decision at Thanksgiving\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there are some things lawyers can do to help. If you find yourself in that situation — with a pending rent relief application and an eviction notice — you should contact a lawyer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawhelpca.org/legal-information\">Find a legal aid office near you\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is there anything I can do to speed up my application?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“If you have an application in already and you’re just waiting, I would suggest reaching out to HCD [the Housing and Community Development Department],” Howard said. She recommends calling the help line at (833) 430-2122.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve gotten a “pay or quit” eviction notice from your landlord, Howard recommends telling HCD you need them to expedite your application. The department operates off a prioritization list, and your application could be considered sooner if you’re in an emergency situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909167\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909167\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"red sign hangs in window of classic SF victorian building with downtown skyline in background\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ‘For Rent’ sign hangs in the window of an apartment building in Nob Hill in San Francisco on July 29, 2021.

And what can your landlord do while you’re waiting for news on your application? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Does this extension of eviction protections mean there’s a statewide eviction moratorium again?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No. California’s statewide moratorium on evictions expired last fall, on Sept. 30, 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state’s COVID Rent Relief program has afforded its own kind of eviction protections, which started on Oct. 1, 2021. That’s because, since that date, \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/tenant/protection_guidelines.html\">any landlord wanting to evict a tenant for failing to pay rent as a result of COVID hardship needs to first apply for rental relief\u003c/a> before continuing with an eviction lawsuit. And renters affected by COVID hardship can prevent an eviction from moving forward if they show they’ve applied for the rent relief program as a defense in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909880/california-lawmakers-extend-eviction-protections-for-tenants-awaiting-rent-relief\">These protections would have expired on March 31\u003c/a>, but now have been extended through June 30 by California’s new legislation — although that’s only for people who applied for the rent relief program by March 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several cities and counties across the state had their own rent-related eviction moratoriums that stayed in place after the state moratorium expired. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11889738/covid-rent-relief-what-renters-and-landlords-need-to-know-as-californias-eviction-moratorium-ends#renters\">See if your Bay Area county still has an eviction moratorium.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888869\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11888869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT.jpg\" alt=\"A woman in a green sweater sits on a couch using a laptop.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For renters and property owners who’ve applied for rent relief, there are still several important things to know about eviction protections. \u003ccite>(Liza Summer/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>I applied for rent relief before March 31.

But, that doesn’t mean the law always works as it should.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some tenant attorneys and advocates have reported clients who submitted an application that was still under review but received an eviction notice anyway. Usually, this is because the landlord either was not aware the tenant had applied or was falsely claiming their tenant hadn’t filed all the required documentation for the application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late March, the state attorney general’s office sent warning letters to 91 law firms representing landlords across the state, reminding them that filing false declarations is against the law.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Don’t leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In some cities and counties, a landlord can face not only criminal penalties if they forcibly remove you from your home without a court order, but also monetary penalties if the tenant files a lawsuit. The moment you leave, you lose many valuable protections and you may even end up with a judgment against you,” said López.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If it’s taking so long to process the claims, what happens if I’m still waiting by June 30?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If your application is still pending after this extension expires, yes: You could be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s likely that many — tens of thousands of people — will find themselves in this category. Howard noted that an analysis of the rent relief program by the research group PolicyLink shows that at the current rate applications are being approved, \u003ca href=\"https://nationalequityatlas.org/CARentalAssistance\">some applicants will still be waiting for a decision at Thanksgiving\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there are some things lawyers can do to help. If you find yourself in that situation — with a pending rent relief application and an eviction notice — you should contact a lawyer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawhelpca.org/legal-information\">Find a legal aid office near you\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is there anything I can do to speed up my application?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“If you have an application in already and you’re just waiting, I would suggest reaching out to HCD [the Housing and Community Development Department],” Howard said. She recommends calling the help line at (833) 430-2122.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve gotten a “pay or quit” eviction notice from your landlord, Howard recommends telling HCD you need them to expedite your application. The department operates off a prioritization list, and your application could be considered sooner if you’re in an emergency situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909167\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909167\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"red sign hangs in window of classic SF victorian building with downtown skyline in background\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS50490_007_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ‘For Rent’ sign hangs in the window of an apartment building in Nob Hill in San Francisco on July 29, 2021.

Y para evitar ser desalojados, los inquilinos que se han visto afectados económicamente por la pandemia de COVID-19 deben pagar una porción de su renta atrasada, y pueden solicitar una ayuda para el alquiler a través de programas estatales o locales.

Sin embargo, el estado ha tardado en distribuir las ayudas al alquiler (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defensores de los derechos de inquilinos aconsejan a la gente que no sólo solicite la ayuda para el alquiler, sino que también busquen ayuda legal si se enfrenta a un desalojamiento.

El sitio web estatal sobre vivienda tiene una\u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/get_help_esp.html#lpn\"> herramienta para buscar organizaciones locales y grupos de ayuda en su condado que ofrezcan asistencia a los inquilinos\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>¿Qué debo hacer si recibo un aviso de “pague o abandone” (es decir, un aviso de desalojo)?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En cuanto a los pasos concretos que hay que dar, Lorraine López, abogada principal del Western Center on Law and Poverty, dice que la primera acción inmediata debe ser \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/index.html\">solicitar ayuda para la renta\u003c/a>. “Incluso ahora, tener una solicitud pendiente proporciona a los inquilinos una capa de protección y puede detener cualquier procedimiento de desalojo”, dice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En segundo lugar, López recomienda buscar \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/get_help.html#lpn\">organizaciones comunitarias y agencias de servicios legales sin fines de lucro que ayuden a los inquilinos\u003c/a> y acceder a documentos con su información, talleres y clínicas para informarse sobre sus derechos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En tercer lugar, \u003cem>no se mude\u003c/em>, dice López. “A esto lo llamamos ‘auto desalojo'”, explica, y aunque “muchos inquilinos piensan que un aviso es suficiente para desalojarlos, en California el propietario necesita obtener una orden judicial para sacarlo de su casa”. Así que hasta que un tribunal no haya emitido una orden para que se mude, no se vaya.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“En algunas ciudades y condados, el propietario puede enfrentarse no sólo a sanciones penales si le echa de su casa por la fuerza sin una orden judicial, sino también a sanciones monetarias si el inquilino presenta una demanda. En el momento en que se va, usted pierde muchas protecciones valiosas e incluso puede acabar con una sentencia en tu contra”, dice López.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>¿Qué pasa si me niegan la ayuda al alquiler?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heimerich, de la Agencia de Vivienda y Servicios al Consumidor, dice que es muy raro que a la gente se le niegue la ayuda al alquiler, y que ocurre en menos del 1% de los casos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, Howard dice que si se le niega y cree que debería calificar, debe llamar a su\u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/get_help_esp.html#lpn\"> agencia local de ayuda legal\u003c/a> con la negación del estado y ellos pueden ayudarle a presentar una apelación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>¿Puedo obtener ayuda para pagar mis servicios públicos?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si ha tenido una dificultad debido a COVID-19 y gana menos del 80% de los ingresos medios de su condado, también puede\u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/index_esp.html\"> solicitar que le paguen los servicios públicos\u003c/a> (como la luz y el agua).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>¿Y si no tengo un contrato de alquiler tradicional? ¿Puedo solicitar una ayuda para la renta?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sí, puede\u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/index_esp.html\"> solicitar la ayuda para la renta\u003c/a> incluso si sólo tiene un acuerdo informal o verbal, según Howard. Sólo tiene que indicar en la solicitud el alquiler mensual que ha acordado pagar y el importe total del alquiler atrasado que debe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard subrayó que “la agencia estatal sí acepta solicitudes de ayuda al alquiler de unidades que son una especie de vivienda no tradicional, ya sea un garaje convertido, o algún tipo de vivienda en la parte trasera, una casa rodante o lo que sea”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No puedo pagar la renta de este mes. ¿Puedo obtener ayuda para ello?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sí.

As of last week, the state has paid $2.4 billion to about \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/dashboard.html\">214,000 households\u003c/a> — fewer than half of all that have applied for aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those delays — which one study found left the average tenant waiting \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/03/california-rent-relief-wait/\">about three months to get paid\u003c/a> — forced legislators’ hands: Last Thursday, the state’s top legislative leaders struck another last-minute deal designed to stave off eviction for another three months for hundreds of thousands of renters who have applied for relief but are still waiting to hear back.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Assemblymember Tim Grayson\"]‘It would be cruel, wasteful and unfair to subject these Californians to eviction or the loss of rental income now, when they have done everything asked of them, and distribution of their emergency rental assistance is imminent.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first hearing on \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2179\">Assembly Bill 2179\u003c/a> is scheduled for today. To pass, it requires two-thirds majorities in both the Assembly and state Senate. The current law, set to expire Thursday, says a judge must pause an eviction proceeding if a rent relief application is pending. The new legislation, expected to go into effect by Thursday, would shield tenants through June 30 as the state continues to process their paperwork.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is on us to take care of the thousands of Californians — landlords and tenants alike — who reached out to COVID-19 emergency rental assistance programs for help and still have their applications pending,” said Assemblymember Tim Grayson, a Concord Democrat who is the bill’s co-author.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be cruel, wasteful and unfair to subject these Californians to eviction or the loss of rental income now, when they have done everything asked of them, and distribution of their emergency rental assistance is imminent,” he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But renters who do not \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/index.html\">apply to the program\u003c/a> by the Thursday deadline will not receive any protections. Landlords will still be able to take those tenants to court over missed rent starting Friday.[aside postID=\"news_11908640,news_11907165,news_11889738\" label=\"Related Posts\"]California has about $5.4 billion in federal funds to help qualified applicants with 100% of unpaid rent dating back to April 2020, some of which is being distributed by local rent relief programs. Lawmakers last month \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB115\">authorized more state spending\u003c/a> if the federal dollars don’t cover the costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Lakewood Democrat, \u003ca href=\"https://sd39.senate.ca.gov/news/20220324-legislative-leaders-issue-statement-extension-rent-relief-legislation\">endorsed the new bill in a joint statement\u003c/a> Thursday, promising it would move quickly through both houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom appears likely to sign the bill. A spokesperson told CalMatters in an email: “The governor strongly supports an extension that continues to protect tenants well into the summer and ensures that every eligible applicant is protected under this nation-leading rent relief program as it winds down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Local protections at risk\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the \u003ca href=\"https://cal-rha.org/\">California Rental Housing Association\u003c/a>, which says it represents more than 20,000 landlords with 575,000 units across the state, issued a statement opposing the bill. The group said that statewide eviction protections are no longer necessary, and it urged the timely payment of rent relief. (Some major provisions of the statewide moratorium expired September 30.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Enough is enough,” said Christine Kevane LaMarca, CalRHA president. “By halting applications for those in need, and extending the eviction moratorium, rental housing providers are being forced to carry the financial weight of the pandemic and some of them will lose their properties as a result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative leaders drove negotiations for the last-minute deal, according to Debra Carlton, executive vice president of the \u003ca href=\"https://caanet.org/\">California Apartment Association\u003c/a>, which also represents landlords at the state Capitol. As in the most recent extension negotiations last summer, Carlton said neither her group nor tenant advocates were at the table, but their recommendations were taken into account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association’s main request was granted: Local jurisdictions won’t be allowed to enact new tenant protections until July 1, and any protections put in place by local governments after Aug. 19, 2020, also will be delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what worries tenant advocates. The bill would postpone hard-fought protections that were set to go into effect on April 1, notably in \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/housing-homelessness/los-angeles-la-county-eviction-protections-what-it-means-local-renters-rent-freeze\">Los Angeles County\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/information/covid-19-emergency-tenant-protections\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/fresnoland/article254508367.html\">Fresno\u003c/a>. A few protections put in place before the cutoff — including in the \u003ca href=\"https://housing.lacity.org/covid-19/renter-protections\">city of Los Angeles\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/cda/hcd/documents/EvictionMoratoriumOrdinanceSummaryFAQ8.11.20.pdf\">Alameda County\u003c/a> — will remain in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I see it as honestly cruel,” said Alexander Harnden, a staff attorney at \u003ca href=\"https://innercitylaw.org/\">Inner City Law Center\u003c/a>, which serves tenants across LA County. “Repealing protections the day before they’re set to kick in means a lot of people are not going to get that information. It’s really setting people up to get evicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Informing renters of the patchwork of protections in LA County has been no easy feat, Harnden said, as some tenants continue to have the false belief there’s an outright eviction ban statewide. In fact, sheriff’s departments across California have carried out \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/07/california-eviction-moratorium-tenants/\">at least 10,000 lockouts\u003c/a> — the last step in an eviction process — since the start of the pandemic, according to a CalMatters investigation last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using data obtained through a Public Records Act request, Kyle Nelson, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles, found the LA County Sheriff’s Department performed lockouts at more than 8,600 households between April 2020 and September 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenant advocates worry that after the application deadline for rent relief passes on Thursday, thousands of renters will still need help. In the \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2022/demo/hhp/hhp43.html\">most recent survey\u003c/a> conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 977,000 California households at all income levels reported no confidence in their ability to pay April’s rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-march-2022/?utm_source=CalMatters+Newsletters&utm_campaign=e9e6242105-WHATMATTERS&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_faa7be558d-e9e6242105-151326976&mc_cid=e9e6242105&mc_eid=119767cb73\">another poll released last week\u003c/a>, 34% of renters said they are “very concerned” about not having enough money to pay their housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels like a mixed bag,” said Tina Rosales, legislative advocate at the \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/\">Western Center on Law and Poverty\u003c/a>. “With our \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/01/california-budget-newsom/\">budget surplus\u003c/a>, we thought that there would be an extension of the deadline to apply for [rent relief], and there wasn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to another \u003ca href=\"https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/072/973/original/TT_2021-22_ERAP_Survey.pdf\">recent survey of 58 tenant organizations\u003c/a> across the state by \u003ca href=\"https://www.tenantstogether.org/\">Tenants Together\u003c/a>, an advocacy group, 90% of organizations helping renters apply for aid said their tenants reported difficulties applying. Half of survey respondents complained of inadequate language access and lack of community outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re basically saying, ‘Tough luck,’” said Shanti Singh, legislative and communications director for the group. “‘If we didn’t do our job telling you this program exists, that’s your problem now.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last June, a coalition of tenant advocacy groups filed a discrimination complaint against the state over \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/10/california-rent-relief-immigrants-barriers/\">language barriers\u003c/a> for non-English speakers. The case is now under \u003ca href=\"https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/complaint-process\">investigation\u003c/a> by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to Tiffany Hickey, a staff attorney at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.advancingjustice-alc.org/\">Asian Law Caucus\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout this complaint process, we’ve really been pushing to have this investigated and addressed as quickly as possible because people are being left out of relief because they can’t access the program,” Hickey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Lawmakers last month \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB115\">authorized more state spending\u003c/a> if the federal dollars don’t cover the costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Lakewood Democrat, \u003ca href=\"https://sd39.senate.ca.gov/news/20220324-legislative-leaders-issue-statement-extension-rent-relief-legislation\">endorsed the new bill in a joint statement\u003c/a> Thursday, promising it would move quickly through both houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom appears likely to sign the bill. A spokesperson told CalMatters in an email: “The governor strongly supports an extension that continues to protect tenants well into the summer and ensures that every eligible applicant is protected under this nation-leading rent relief program as it winds down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Local protections at risk\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the \u003ca href=\"https://cal-rha.org/\">California Rental Housing Association\u003c/a>, which says it represents more than 20,000 landlords with 575,000 units across the state, issued a statement opposing the bill. The group said that statewide eviction protections are no longer necessary, and it urged the timely payment of rent relief. (Some major provisions of the statewide moratorium expired September 30.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Enough is enough,” said Christine Kevane LaMarca, CalRHA president. “By halting applications for those in need, and extending the eviction moratorium, rental housing providers are being forced to carry the financial weight of the pandemic and some of them will lose their properties as a result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative leaders drove negotiations for the last-minute deal, according to Debra Carlton, executive vice president of the \u003ca href=\"https://caanet.org/\">California Apartment Association\u003c/a>, which also represents landlords at the state Capitol. As in the most recent extension negotiations last summer, Carlton said neither her group nor tenant advocates were at the table, but their recommendations were taken into account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association’s main request was granted: Local jurisdictions won’t be allowed to enact new tenant protections until July 1, and any protections put in place by local governments after Aug. 19, 2020, also will be delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what worries tenant advocates. The bill would postpone hard-fought protections that were set to go into effect on April 1, notably in \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/housing-homelessness/los-angeles-la-county-eviction-protections-what-it-means-local-renters-rent-freeze\">Los Angeles County\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/information/covid-19-emergency-tenant-protections\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/fresnoland/article254508367.html\">Fresno\u003c/a>. A few protections put in place before the cutoff — including in the \u003ca href=\"https://housing.lacity.org/covid-19/renter-protections\">city of Los Angeles\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/cda/hcd/documents/EvictionMoratoriumOrdinanceSummaryFAQ8.11.20.pdf\">Alameda County\u003c/a> — will remain in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I see it as honestly cruel,” said Alexander Harnden, a staff attorney at \u003ca href=\"https://innercitylaw.org/\">Inner City Law Center\u003c/a>, which serves tenants across LA County. “Repealing protections the day before they’re set to kick in means a lot of people are not going to get that information. It’s really setting people up to get evicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Informing renters of the patchwork of protections in LA County has been no easy feat, Harnden said, as some tenants continue to have the false belief there’s an outright eviction ban statewide. In fact, sheriff’s departments across California have carried out \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/07/california-eviction-moratorium-tenants/\">at least 10,000 lockouts\u003c/a> — the last step in an eviction process — since the start of the pandemic, according to a CalMatters investigation last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using data obtained through a Public Records Act request, Kyle Nelson, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles, found the LA County Sheriff’s Department performed lockouts at more than 8,600 households between April 2020 and September 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenant advocates worry that after the application deadline for rent relief passes on Thursday, thousands of renters will still need help. In the \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2022/demo/hhp/hhp43.html\">most recent survey\u003c/a> conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 977,000 California households at all income levels reported no confidence in their ability to pay April’s rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-march-2022/?utm_source=CalMatters+Newsletters&utm_campaign=e9e6242105-WHATMATTERS&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_faa7be558d-e9e6242105-151326976&mc_cid=e9e6242105&mc_eid=119767cb73\">another poll released last week\u003c/a>, 34% of renters said they are “very concerned” about not having enough money to pay their housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels like a mixed bag,” said Tina Rosales, legislative advocate at the \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/\">Western Center on Law and Poverty\u003c/a>. “With our \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/01/california-budget-newsom/\">budget surplus\u003c/a>, we thought that there would be an extension of the deadline to apply for [rent relief], and there wasn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to another \u003ca href=\"https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/072/973/original/TT_2021-22_ERAP_Survey.pdf\">recent survey of 58 tenant organizations\u003c/a> across the state by \u003ca href=\"https://www.tenantstogether.org/\">Tenants Together\u003c/a>, an advocacy group, 90% of organizations helping renters apply for aid said their tenants reported difficulties applying. Half of survey respondents complained of inadequate language access and lack of community outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re basically saying, ‘Tough luck,’” said Shanti Singh, legislative and communications director for the group. “‘If we didn’t do our job telling you this program exists, that’s your problem now.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last June, a coalition of tenant advocacy groups filed a discrimination complaint against the state over \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/10/california-rent-relief-immigrants-barriers/\">language barriers\u003c/a> for non-English speakers. The case is now under \u003ca href=\"https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/complaint-process\">investigation\u003c/a> by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to Tiffany Hickey, a staff attorney at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.advancingjustice-alc.org/\">Asian Law Caucus\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout this complaint process, we’ve really been pushing to have this investigated and addressed as quickly as possible because people are being left out of relief because they can’t access the program,” Hickey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Thursday, the Legislature’s top two leaders — Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, both Democrats — released a joint statement saying the bill “will receive quick action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made a commitment to those who are in line and they shouldn’t be harmed because of how long the process is taking,” Rendon and Atkins said in a joint statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extension will benefit people like Jenise Dixon, whose application for rental assistance has been pending since October. Dixon says she has lived in the same rent-controlled Los Angeles apartment for 19 years. She said she worked in the entertainment industry, but hasn’t had steady work since the pandemic started and soon fell behind on her rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m one step away from homelessness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her application for rental assistance is stuck because neither she nor her landlord can produce a lease. She said she’s submitted utility bills and other evidence to prove she lives in the apartment, but to no avail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if I’m approved, it’s not going to cover all the months that I’m behind,” she said Tuesday during a news conference organized by housing advocates urging for an extension of eviction protections. “I’m just asking the people at the top, the lawmakers, to give the system a chance to catch up so that people like me don’t fall through the cracks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, California has paid out nearly $2.5 billion in rental assistance to just over 214,000 households, for an average assistance of $11,488. State officials say most of the money has gone to very low- or extremely low-income households that earn less than 50% of their area’s median income. The program could soon run out of money. State officials had asked for an additional $1.9 billion from the federal government, but so far have received only about $200 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tenants shouldn’t have to worry.

The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, a group that represents tenants, said lawmakers should also give people more time to apply. Anything less, they said, would be “a landlord bailout that results in thousands of families on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Thursday, the Legislature’s top two leaders — Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, both Democrats — released a joint statement saying the bill “will receive quick action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made a commitment to those who are in line and they shouldn’t be harmed because of how long the process is taking,” Rendon and Atkins said in a joint statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extension will benefit people like Jenise Dixon, whose application for rental assistance has been pending since October. Dixon says she has lived in the same rent-controlled Los Angeles apartment for 19 years. She said she worked in the entertainment industry, but hasn’t had steady work since the pandemic started and soon fell behind on her rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m one step away from homelessness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her application for rental assistance is stuck because neither she nor her landlord can produce a lease. She said she’s submitted utility bills and other evidence to prove she lives in the apartment, but to no avail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if I’m approved, it’s not going to cover all the months that I’m behind,” she said Tuesday during a news conference organized by housing advocates urging for an extension of eviction protections. “I’m just asking the people at the top, the lawmakers, to give the system a chance to catch up so that people like me don’t fall through the cracks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, California has paid out nearly $2.5 billion in rental assistance to just over 214,000 households, for an average assistance of $11,488. State officials say most of the money has gone to very low- or extremely low-income households that earn less than 50% of their area’s median income. The program could soon run out of money. State officials had asked for an additional $1.9 billion from the federal government, but so far have received only about $200 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tenants shouldn’t have to worry. Last month, Newsom signed a law allowing state money to cover the costs of the program should the federal money not cover all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
