LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) —
A months-long fight for money has finally ended for one Lynchburg landlord.

Ben Quintana has been out thousands from a Virginia rent relief since December.
He first reached out to ABC13 when his application wouldn't go through.
Then, the program sent him the wrong checks.
After more than six months, he finally got his money in his pockets, and he summed up how he is feeling in one word: "elated".
"The weight of the world was just lifted off our shoulders. I mean that's money that we need to get things caught up. We got taxes to pay, insurance to pay," Quintana said.

Quintana hopes that if the program is ever reinstated, they will make changes to avoid problems like this in the future and improve communication through administration.
