No rental payments for 8 months. Denied EDIL assistance

[Jay B.]

Hello! I haven’t received payments for 8 months. I have an eviction in process however in Chicago evictions are stayed until December 31st. My tenant has not been paying since March and I got denied for EDIL assistance because my tenant paid in February and therefore I could only get assistance if the tenant stopped paying since then. Has anyone experienced this so far with EDIL? And what are some successful financial assistance programs that you’ve tried if you are in a similar scenario?
