CA landlord says tenants owe $100K in rent but can't evict them due to COVID-19 protections

In 1986, Gary R. bought his dream home in Pleasanton. A four-bedroom house with a pool and a view of the mountains. 36 years later, his dream home is now an income property, but for the past 26 months, he hasn't made any income. He applied for the state's "Housing is Key" program but realized he didn't qualify. His property is in Alameda County. Alameda County is running their own housing relief program with federal funds. "I applied for that last July and nothing. They told me they received the email and the application but nothing came out of it. So, I just applied again because I have another eight months and I'm applying for more money now," said Gary. Alameda County received $129 million to help tenants and property owners with rent. They received over 13,000 application and so far approved close to 6,000. The East Bay Rental Housing Association says many landlords are on the verge of losing their properties as they wait for the state or county programs for help.
