Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is encouraging small landlords to apply for aid through the city’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program, with the application portal open until 6 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Those with 12 or fewer rental units qualify to receive up to 6 months of tenants’ unpaid rent through the Measure United to House LA (ULA), nicknamed the “mansion tax.”
