“A tenant in Chula Vista had applied for rental assistance and the housing service provider refused to fill out the form for the tenant’s money to come through. CSA San Diego County Fair Housing advised the housing service provider that it is against the law to deny verified sources of income inclusive of rental assistance funding. The housing service provider filled out the form, and the monies the tenant received went directly to pay her rent and she was able to continue living in her home.”

“An 80-year-old woman on Social Security received her check in the middle of the month and therefore had an arrangement to pay for rent on the 15^th of the month and had been doing so since 2004. When new management arrived, they issued a Notice to Perform or Quit requesting the tenant pay the rent on the 1^st of the month rather than the 15^th. CSA San Diego County Fair Housing sent a letter asserting the tenant’s right to have a reasonable accommodation in place to pay the rent on the 15^th, rather than the 1^st because of her Social Security income. The onsite manager then allowed this to occur, and the tenant was allowed to continue paying rent once she received her income.”
