"Both tenants and landlords have faced sudden losses in income and new fears about what will happen to their homes and properties"


Los Angeles Times did an article interviewing both landlords and tenants. This is in Los Angeles where there are a lot more resources than we have in Humboldt.

"Over the last month, millions of Californians have lost their jobs because of orders to stay at home and close nonessential businesses to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus."

"Both tenants and landlords have faced sudden losses in income and new fears about what will happen to their homes and properties. Federal, state and local governments have passed measures to prevent evictions and provide mortgage assistance with the expectation that many tenants won’t be able to pay their rent."

"But the patchwork of rules has led to confusion and, in many cases, has failed to relieve worries about missed rent and mortgage payments. Some landlords are pressuring their tenants for financial documentation or to agree to rent repayment plans that are more onerous than required by law."
