My partner and I just closed on a property on Thursday and are looking to fill out a W-9 for rent relief assistance as well, however we are tenants in common with a simple joint account, and plan to file taxes separately at the end of the year.

The fire-box was not cracked.While it should have felt like $350 was a terrific price and a relief, the truth is I still got ripped off because the contractor knew in the beginning that the only thing he needed to do was clean the flame sensor with steel wool and that takes less than 5 minutes.

That's a relief about being pulled away, I didn't want that condition to prohibit me from dipping my toes in again.As for my specifics, my search has a decent range.

So far, I have one tenant who hasn't paid and he is working with me to find a relief organization. 

It is possible they extend it in future legislation, but the COVID relief act they just passed (COVIDTRA) does not extend the original CARES Act provision.

Landlords take heart, rent relief for your tenants is coming.

There was one minor sticking point which contributed to the delay (but was not the main reason for it): I applied for COVID-relief forbearance with one of the properties to de-risk my ability to pay mortgage when a couple tenants weren't able to make payments.

@Rachel Underwood Me not so much, as Ohio is a popular destination for PA folks looking to get tax relief and it appears to be a viable option for people looking to stretch their dollars.

The average median income is $109,000 in my city, which includes low-wage jobs. if anyone watches CNBC’s Diana Olick reports on how the government plans to disperse rental relief, Realty Mogul CEO says only larger States like California and New York have internal controls to use the money Wisely.

Gavin Newsom today signed a bill that will use $2.6 billion in federal funds to pay landlords up to 80% of rent owed by qualifying tenants with COVID-19 financial hardships.Read the story here: https://caanet.org/gov-newsom-signs-bill-with-2-6-billion-in-federal-funds-for-unpaid-rent/Perhaps this can help some of you California landlords with tenants who haven't been paying their rent.It's not a perfect solution, but at least the payments go directly to the landlords (unlike the stimulus checks).Note that there is a deadline mentioned of February 28th to provide a specific Informational Notice to their tenants who are behind on rent as of February 1st (there's a link to this Informational Notice in the linked story).Here's another story on this new law with some more info: https://sftu.org/2021/01/29/senate-bill-91-eviction-protection-and-debt-relief/
