  1. It likely does not help that the local agencies who are in charge of distributing the aid are overwhelmed…

    My experience working with IndyRent to get a few residents aid has been painful to say the least.

  2. It’s a messed up system for sure. I have a tenant, who was NOT behind, and who DOES work and receives a sufficient salary to cover her expenses and rent, and does NOT have Covid, who applied for no good reason for 90 days of assistance. All she had to do was go online and apply, and poof, she was approved. Then came the Landlord portion of the process. I refused to accept the assistance. Shocked that she had applied, I had a talk with the tenant about the intended use of the funds, and that she did not, and should not, be taking assistance funds that are intended for the less fortunate. The tenant admitted she did not NEED the assistance. So, after I denied the acceptance of the funds as the Landlord, and as my right, I get a call from the community center who was over her application/approval, and was absolutely berated by the woman on the phone for refusing the funds. It appears she was just all about getting rid of the money, even after she knew the tenant didn’t qualify, and should not have been approved to begin with. It’s messed up for sure.

    1. Sounds like you also worked with Rheba…. She called my tenants a liar, and then he appealed and was approved within 2 hours…
