After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,050. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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. 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 $2,050 goes: โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $650 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $105 โ€ข Rent arrears (5 months): $1,295 Thanks for reading all this. - Volodymyr

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Venice.

    • Volodymyr ShevchukOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Thank you. If you're in Venice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

  • Dwi Siahaan

    Sending good thoughts, Volodymyr. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Take care.

    • Marcus P. Caldwell

      Hope things get better soon, Volodymyr. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Venice.
