Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Guadalupe's family in Córdoba

After a cut in working hours, Guadalupe is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,800 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850 • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Utilities in arrears: $130 • First month of rent as a buffer: $600 If you're reading this, thank you. - Guadalupe

    You're not alone, Guadalupe. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care

      Hope things get better soon, Guadalupe. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
