Randall received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Randall short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States3,071 views
After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
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 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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $145
• Utilities in arrears: $170
• First month of rent as a buffer: $735
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Randall
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 8 people at work. All the best
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Las Cruces
Thank you. If you're in Las Cruces I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Keep going, Randall. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Arusha donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Las Cruces.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Hamburg
Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Any update on how things are going in Las Cruces?
thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Keep going, Randall. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Brisbane.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Eindhoven donated after I showed her your page.
take care. This could happen to any of us
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Take care. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rome.
