Unsurprisingly, this reading of #SB91 is partially wrong. If LLs refuse to participate, tenants are eligible for 25% of rent arrears from 4/2020-3/2021, & the fund will pay "prospective rent" @ 25% for 3 months (likely April-June 2021 to capture the extended eviction protections)
And to clarify - tenants can receive 25% of "prospective rent" if either their landlord applies or if the tenant is forced to apply directly because their LL refuses to do so.
