What are my chances of being awarded rental assistance?
It depends on your situation. If you have a short-term need because of a surprise expense or job loss, your chances are better. If, on the other hand, you’ve been unemployed a long time, you have had long-term issues paying your rent, or you generally do not appear to be seeking all available means to pay your bills, your chances of receiving assistance may be lower. DoNotPay can help you present your situation in the most direct way, though, so you’ll get your fair shot at rental assistance.
