Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Nova's family in Ann Arbor
After the closure of the factory, Nova is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
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 have two young 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000
• First month of rent as a buffer: $570
• Late fees and court costs: $330
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
