Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Gabriela's family in Tallahassee

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, Gabriela fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Gabriela has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $3,550 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $560 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,850 • Late fees and court costs: $140 Thanks for reading all this. - Laura
