I am behind in my rent and am unable to pay. Do I have to have a court ordered eviction in order to receive help with the arrears?
No, but you do have to have a written eviction letter from your landlord showing intent to evict due to nonpayment of rent. If you wait to apply until after a court eviction notice is received, it may be too late to stop the eviction.
