[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think landlord can apply for any kind of government assistance. She is gaslighting you. Tenant is the one who applies.

Let the water get disconnected if the bill is so high and she's not paying for any of it. First of all, she's not paying rent and then you have to pay for her water in addition to that? [/quote]

I live in a BMR building in another state and our management is applying on behalf of tenants. I am thinking of not paying too (this is a large organization not a small landlord). I am just not sure I can get away with it, but I have allied for future assistance. [/quote]

This can't be correct that landlord could apply on behalf of tenants. What forms are they using?[/quote]

Landlords can apply for Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) on behalf of eligible tenants. I don't know what org in DC is implementing the program, but all states plus DC received funds.

The law is here: https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hr133/BILLS-116hr133enr.pdf

The relevant section for landlords - 
f) APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE BY LANDLORDS AND OWNERS.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Subject to paragraph (2), nothing in this 
section shall preclude a landlord or owner of a residential 
dwelling from— 
(A) assisting a renter of such dwelling in applying 
for assistance from a payment made under this section; 
or 
(B) applying for such assistance on behalf of a renter 
of such dwelling. 
(2) REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED ON
BEHALF OF TENANTS.—If a landlord or owner of a residential 
dwelling submits an application for assistance from a payment 
made under this section on behalf of a renter of such dwelling— 
(A) the landlord must obtain the signature of the tenant on such application, which may be documented electronically; 
(B) documentation of such application shall be provided 
to the tenant by the landlord; and 
(C) any payments received by the landlord from a 
payment made under this section shall be used to satisfy 
the tenant’s rental obligations to the owner. [/quote]

I tried this for Virginia but my tenant is not providing all the necessary documents. How to file for rental assistance now?[/quote]
