Frustrated hand expression from an Eviction Notice - Covid 19 effect - Cancel Rent - Hardship
Thousands of Americans are still out of work and a federal eviction moratorium expires at the end of the year. Florida Apartment Association says some landlords are trying to keep people in their homes. The group represents around 800,000 units across the state of Florida. Amanda Gill is their Government Affairs Director. She says during the pandemic most of the association’s members have tried to help tenants who are out of work. For example, they might be offering month to month leases where perhaps in the past they didn’t do that. They might be offering payment plan arrangements with residents who can’t pay at this time or rent deferment for a resident who’s waiting for their unemployment to kick in, said Gill. They’re providing unprecedented flexibility and they’re also helping residents often times apply for rent relief funds.
