Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Eliana's family in Sacramento

After a long illness, Eliana is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,100 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,500 • Late fees and court costs: $210 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,120 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Eliana

  1. Update from Sacramento: I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $375 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
