Keep a roof over Micah's head in Los Angeles
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Micah needs $4,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Los Angeles.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,540 views
When the hotel closed in August, Micah fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,050.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Micah has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,140
Thank you so much.
