Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Christian's family in Arlington
A termination letter arrived last week. Christian needs $3,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Arlington.

When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,050
• Late fees and court costs: $300
• Utilities in arrears: $320
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
Thanks for reading all this.
