After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zara.
Utilities in arrears is $15 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from San Jose
thinking of you and your family, Zara. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
