Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Riley's family in Los Angeles

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Riley needs $4,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Los Angeles.

When the textile factory closed in November, 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 $4,150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 $4,150 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,450 • Late fees and court costs: $185 • Utilities in arrears: $310 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,205 Thank you so much. - Riley
