It's important to know that you have options as either a homeowner or renter if you have suffered financial consequences due to the pandemic. If you are concerned about how to make mortgage or rental payments, recent legislation as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, commonly known as the CARES Act, has established programs to provide certain protections.
