There Are Resources That Can Help! 

If you are a current Berrada Properties tenant and your rent is more than five days late due to financial hardship—or if you are unable to pay next month’s rent—you may be at risk of eviction. The Berrada Properties Tenant Eviction Diversion Program has several options that may be able to help. 

Eviction Diversion Offers: 

  • Payment Plan: If you are one month or less behind on rent, you may be eligible to set up a payment plan to catch up. 
  • Short-Term Rent Assistance: If you have experienced a financial hardship or loss of income and are low-income, you may qualify for short-term rent assistance. 
  • Move-Out Agreement: If staying in your unit is not an option, you may be able to move out within 14 days to avoid an eviction on your record. 

Eligibility Criteria for Rent Assistance: 

To qualify, applicants must meet the following requirements: 
✔ Be no more than one month behind on rent 
✔ Be 18 years or older 
✔ Be a leaseholder of a Berrada Properties rental unit 
✔ Have experienced a verifiable loss of income in the past 30–90 days 
✔ Have verifiable current income 
✔ Meet program income guidelines
