Help Douglas keep his home - 3 months behind on rent
After the loss of a second income, Douglas is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in February, Douglas fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,250.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Douglas has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $330
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
Glad we found this place.
