Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650. 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 two young 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,650 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $740 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,750 • Late fees and court costs: $160 I hope life is good to you. - Parker

Updates from Parker

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

  2. Update from San Francisco: the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Parker?

    • Parker E. MurrayOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in San Francisco I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

  • Brooks K. Silva

    So sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
