'That person that was living in the home and still is does not deserve that money. Getting rewarded for not paying their rent, that sends a really bad message to the city,' Babette Finger said.
It's a program meant to ease financial strain created by the pandemic, but a landlord reached out to us to say in her case, the city's Emergency Rental Assistance Program did the opposite.
"I just don't understand how they could send him my check after he didn't pay his bills for all those months. It's unbelievable," she said. The Department of Housing spokesperson couldn't say if that warning for landlords was in the Emergency Rental Assistance application documents. We certainly couldn't find it in the Frequently Asked Questions online.
Anderson said his organization and other housing advocacy groups wish they had a voice in making those Emergency Rental Assistance rules, with the hope of keeping red tape like this from happening.
