Keep a roof over Lộc's head in Los Angeles
After a divorce, Lộc is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States600 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I've 4 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.
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 $1,700 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $340
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050
With deep gratitude,
Lộc

keep going, Lộc. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
Best of luck, Lộc. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Thinking of you, Lộc. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Sending good thoughts, Lộc. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
