A:
If your application for the California COVID Rent Relief Program has been pending since August 2021, and you believe that the program has wrongfully withheld funding from you, you may want to consider the following steps:
Contact the program: Reach out to the California COVID Rent Relief Program to inquire about the status of your application and why it has not yet been processed. You may also want to ask for an estimated timeline for when you can expect a decision.
Seek legal assistance: Consider contacting a tenant rights attorney who can advise you on your legal options and represent you in court if necessary. A tenant rights attorney can help you understand your rights under the law and determine the best course of action.
File a complaint: You may also want to file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing or another regulatory agency if you believe that your application has been wrongfully denied or delayed.
Follow up regularly: Continue to follow up with the California COVID Rent Relief Program and your attorney to ensure that your case is being reviewed in a timely manner.
It's important to note that the specific options available to you may depend on the facts of your case and the status of your application. An attorney can provide guidance and representation throughout the legal process.
