Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for David's family in San Diego

After the closure of the factory, David is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950. 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,950 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $670 • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $380 I hope life is good to you.

            Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. Blessings

              Stay strong, David. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Oakland.
