Rosa received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Rosa short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States5,241 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500.
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 two young 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.
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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,550
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
Thank you for reading my story.
