Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Peyton's family in Kelowna

The closure of the factory left Peyton short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,850 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850 • Late fees and court costs: $300 • Utilities in arrears: $185 • First month of rent as a buffer: $515 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
