Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS)
Canadian businesses, non-profit organizations, or charities who have seen a drop in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic may be eligible for the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) to cover part of their commercial rent or property expenses, starting on September 27, 2020, until June 2021.
How does the subsidy work?
This subsidy will provide payments directly to qualifying renters and property owners, without requiring the participation of landlords.
