Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Gilbert's family in San Fernando

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Gilbert needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in San Fernando.

San Fernando
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. 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 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 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 $400 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $80 • Rent arrears (2 months): $280 • Late fees and court costs: $40 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Gilbert
