Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Renata's family in Los Angeles
After a car accident, Renata is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States2,550 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,650.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $4,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,500
• First month of rent as a buffer: $900
• Utilities in arrears: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Renata. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Best of luck, Renata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page.
praying for you, Renata. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Wishing you peace, Renata. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal. Take care
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!
So sorry you're going through this, Renata. I hope things turn around soon.
