Courtney received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Courtney short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States3,418 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,700
• Late fees and court costs: $180
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $910
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Córdoba so I could bring a meal.
