Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Itzel's family in Coatzacoalcos

When the call centre closed in July, Itzel fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,200. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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. Itzel 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 $1,200 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $740 • Late fees and court costs: $110 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $310 Glad we found this place. - Ramón
