After the loss of a second income, Purvi is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 3 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $370
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Purvi. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Salem.
Wishing you the best, Purvi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Purvi. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending good thoughts, Purvi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
