Paresh received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A sudden layoff left Paresh short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $450 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $80 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Rent arrears (4 months): $340 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Paresh!

      • Paresh R. PhadkeOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is first month of rent as a buffer, $80. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
