Rental Assistance for Small Landlords

The County of San Diego’s Rental Assistance for Small Landlords (RASL) program helps eligible small-scale, independent, property owners who are experiencing significant rental payment shortfalls from their tenants due to COVID-19 impacts.

The program will assist landlords who are not able to access any other source of governmental COVID-19 financial assistance that would compensate for lost rental income. The County will compensate rental arrears accumulated from April 2020 for a maximum of $15,000 per award.

One application per owner will be accepted. Applications will be reviewed until funds are no longer available. After May 27^th, 2022 applications will no longer be accepted.
