Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Declan's family in Laval
After the loss of a second income, Declan is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇨🇦 Laval, Quebec, Canada1,201 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,550
• Late fees and court costs: $175
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $585
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

stay strong, Declan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Laval
