During COVID-19, federal and state laws and city ordinances have been passed to protect renters from being evicted if they can't pay their full rent if the cause is directly related to sanctions imposed by COVID-19 stay-at-home orders by the State of CA.
SEE THIS PAGEfor details on what to do if you can't make your full rent. Try to pay what you can, because rent will only be deferred until you can pay later, not forgiven completely.
