Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jameson's family in Vancouver

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Jameson needs $2,900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Vancouver.

Following a long illness in the family, Jameson fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,900. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Jameson has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,900 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $840 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $160 With deep gratitude, Jennifer

    You're not alone, Jennifer. Hope this works out for you. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      good luck, Jennifer. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Vancouver.

      • Elmarie L. Govender

        Wishing you the best, Jennifer. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 28 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
