Jia received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A delayed insurance payout left Jia short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States3,150 views
When my hours were cut in half in October, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,200
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $600
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

take care, Jia. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from London.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to La Plata so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Pittsburgh
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Mysuru!
Wishing you the best, Jia. Hope this works out for you. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
