A California homeowner hasn’t received rent from her tenants in more than 17 months. She also hasn’t received any payments from the state’s COVID-19 rent relief program, after applying for several months.
Alyona Nickelsen, an award-winning artist, author, and owner of a three-bedroom condo in Aliso Viejo, said her tenants of more than six years have been unable to make rent payments since April 2020.
