Example 1. Tenant Notice: Clark County Landlord Assistance Program
Today’s Date:
Your landlord is applying to Clark County for financial assistance under the Clark County Landlord
Assistance Program to cover the rent and assessed late fees you have been unable to pay because of
hardships related to COVID-19 between March 1, 2020 and December 30, 2020. You will be notified
by Clark County if the assistance is awarded to your landlord and, as a result, whether you no longer
owe the rent to your landlord.
As a courtesy, this tenant notice is intended to notify you that your landlord will provide Clark County
with information about you, including your name, address, phone number, email address, and
amount of rent owed, as part of the landlord’s submitted application. Clark County is collecting this
information about you to ensure eviction proceedings do not proceed for any months in which your
landlord has been paid under the program, and, to be sure your rent is not paid from another source.
Clark County may need to share your information with auditors, government regulators or others
who have a legal right to access it. Your information may also be used to contact you about other
assistance that is available.
