Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Courtney's family in San Diego

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,900 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,400 • Utilities in arrears: $240 • Late fees and court costs: $260 With deep gratitude, Courtney

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Courtney!

        • Courtney S. FlemingOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Rent arrears (3 months) is $1,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

                  best of luck, Courtney. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
