Delilah received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Delilah short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States1,688 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have two young 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 weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $195
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,235
