Yes, we need the information for your landlord, the property owner, or the management company you pay your rent. This way, if you are selected for the program, we know the person in charge to contact and pay the financial assistance on your behalf.

 Unfortunately, applications are reviewed and approved based on the information provided for a specific rental unit, at a specific Los Angeles City Council District 13 address, and for a specific landlord.  We do understand the hardships many Angelenos are facing at this time, but we are unable to transfer the financial assistance to a different rental property address.
