Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Andrew's family in Los Angeles

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Andrew needs $3,700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Los Angeles.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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. 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 $3,700 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $510 • Late fees and court costs: $320 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,870 With deep gratitude, Andrew

        Thanks for sharing this, Andrew. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
