In response to the devastating effects of the coronavirus pandemic, HUD has put together a set of tools for landlords to help identify and engage at-risk tenants, as well as to inform and guide tenants seeking a rent repayment plan.
The process of evicting residents can be costly to landlords, from court and legal fees to unit turnover costs. An eviction can adversely affect the housing and financial stability of an individual or household for many years to come. These tools should be utilized by both parties to help prevent evictions.
Furthermore, the City of Bowling Green encourages citizens to acquaint themselves with their rights that are protected under the Fair Housing Laws, and join in reaffirming a commitment to Fair Housing for all regardless of race, color, religion, nation origin, sex, familial status, or handicap (disability).
If you are a resident of the City of Bowling Green, we are ready to help you with any problem of housing discrimination. If you think your rights have been violated or you’d like a copy of the COVID-19 Eviction Prevention Tools you may contact us at 419-354-6221 or bggrants@bgohio.org.
