Help Dylan keep his home - 5 months behind on rent
A long illness left Dylan short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States1,608 views
When the call centre closed in December, Dylan fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,850.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Dylan has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $340
• Utilities in arrears: $360
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Angela. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you the best, Angela. I hope things turn around soon.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dylan!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (5 months) comes first ($2,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dwarka
