In just a few days, LA renters will need to pay back any unpaid rent between March 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021. However, there is help available for people to stay in their homes.
Their announcement came just a few days before August 1, the date when certain rental protections created during the COVID-19 pandemic will expire. Tenants will be expected to pay any rent they missed from March 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
"We will only be able to solve our city’s homelessness crisis if we work to prevent people from falling into homelessness in the first place,” Bass said. Raman hopes that the impending deadline “pushes us to reshape and transform our current system into one that proactively supports vulnerable tenants to stay housed, not just at this moment but over the long term.”
