Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rylee's family in San Diego

After a divorce, Rylee is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, Rylee fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,900. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Rylee has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $2,900 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,700 • Late fees and court costs: $300 • Utilities in arrears: $260 • First month of rent as a buffer: $640 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Derek

Updates from Derek

  1. Quick update: $211 raised so far (7%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from San Diego: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rylee.

    • Derek N. AndrewsOwnerAnswer

      Rent arrears (3 months) is $1,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

  • Eunice Mary Okello

    Rooting for you, Derek. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Sylhet this morning. Thinking of San Diego.

    • Rodrigo Xavier

      hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
