.• Must have a delinquency notice (letter or e-mail) from your landlord• Must provide a copy of your lease agreement AND receipts for most recent 3 months of payment (various forms of proof of payment are accepted)• Must qualify based on household income.

@LaRussa Henderson there is no only 1 metric or criteria which is important.Needs to be a combination of few things, including: Landlord friendliness, job growth, population growth, price to rent ratio, demographics, median income, household income, house prices, crime rates etc etc. 

My reading of the CARES Act indicates that in order to qualify, you or a member of your household must have been directly affected by COVID in one of a few ways:1 - Diagnosed with COVID2 - Work furlough, hours reduced, salary cut due to COVID3 - Unable to work because school/childcare was unavailable due to COVID4 - Job accepted, but unable to start due to COVIDAll of my readings indicate that loss of income is directly related to Earned Income - Employment or Self Employment.Lack of rental income is essentially a poorly performing investment and is not related to Active or Ordinary Income. 

Missed payment rates are highest for renters (32 percent), households earning less than $25,000 per year (40 percent), adults under the age of 30 (40 percent), and those living in high-density urban areas (35 percent).

I could also enter my space via the garage provided it wasn't too late or early so as not to disturb the household with older garage doors.

—TheCongress finds that—“(1)according to the 2018 American Community Survey, 36 percent ofhouseholds in the United States—more than 43 million households—arerenters;“(2)in 2019 alone, renters in the United States paid $512 billion inrent;“(3)according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of HarvardUniversity, 20.8 million renters in the United States spent more than30 percent of their incomes on housing in 2018 and 10.9 millionrenters spent more than 50 percent of their incomes on housing in thesame year;“(4)according to data from the Department of Labor, more than 30 millionpeople have filed for unemployment since the COVID-19 pandemic began;“(5)the impacts of the spread of COVID-19, which is now considered aglobal pandemic, are expected to negatively impact the incomes ofpotentially millions of renter households, making it difficult forthem to pay their rent on time; and“(6)evictions in the current environment would increase homelessness andhousing instability which would be counterproductive towards thepublic health goals of keeping individuals in their homes to thegreatest extent possible.

Verify that who applied is actually who is on the lease, as opposed to one person applying to avoid the background check on the person in the household with terrible credit, evictions, or felonies.

Also, the one that plans on staying isn't the one who was earning the income for the household and I am worried about the ability to pay rent.

You may dispute thosedeductions.You may have additional rights if you or someone in your household has been the victimof domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking, and a civil protection order or criminalno-contact order has been entered.You also have certain responsibilities as a tenant:Indiana law requires that tenants pay rent.
