Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mia's family in Los Angeles

The loss of a second income left Mia short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I've 1 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 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 $1,350 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $260 • Late fees and court costs: $450 • First month of rent as a buffer: $640 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    good luck, Mia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from Córdoba.

    • Lourdes N. Ocampo

      Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
