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

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Dennis needs $3,500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in San Diego.

When the call centre closed in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,300 • Late fees and court costs: $230 • Utilities in arrears: $300 • First month of rent as a buffer: $670 I hope life is good to you.
