Camila received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Camila short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania, United States2,754 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 4 children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $520
Glad we found this place.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Scranton
Thank you. If you're in Scranton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this, Camila. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Take care, Camila. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
