LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) - The testimony of an Avon executive can't be used to defeat a lawsuit that alleges exposure to asbestos from the company's talcum powder, a California appeals court has found.
The program is designed to help with up to 12 months of past-due rent from mid-March of last year. In some cases, the program is also able to cover some advance rent.
Help has begun for people in Calhoun County who owe back rent and for landlords who haven t collected.
The Covid Emergency Rental Assistance program has $8 million for Calhoun County to help people pay rent they missed because of COVID-19. A majority of Calhoun County needs it, said Lisa Gallo, case manager at Summit Point Housing. COVID has really devastated everything.
She said the program can pay up to 12 months of past due rent from March 13, 2020 and in some cases three months advance rent. We are just getting started, she said. It was allocated in mid- to late March and it has been skyrocketing since.
