Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Arnel's family in Fresno

After a delayed insurance payout, Arnel is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,700 • Late fees and court costs: $330 • Utilities in arrears: $130 • First month of rent as a buffer: $490 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Arnel

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arnel!

      • Arnel S. ManaloOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $1,700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
