Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Paisley's family in Los Angeles
After a sudden layoff, Paisley is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇺🇸 California, United States4,060 views
When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,100
• Late fees and court costs: $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Paisley. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Sydney
hope things get better soon, Paisley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from San Diego.
Thinking of you and your family, Paisley. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
sending good thoughts, Paisley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
