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.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States2,674 views
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.
