Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

When you sign a lease agreement, you do not intend to break it. However things can happen, Health problems can keep you from work, you can lose your job, or unexpected finances come up. The result is that you cannot pay rent. You may also want to break a lease to get out from underneath a bad landlord. Or to get away from a neighbor. It may not be expected, but there can be times when breaking a lease is necessary.

Breaking a lease is usually grounds for eviction. The landlord or property management is not always going to consider the circumstances. Knowing your rights can help you deal with the process properly. This is useful in cases where you feel that you are being evicted unjustly.

Here are six important tips to protect yourself should you face an eviction.

  • Know the laws

Become familiar with the laws in your state. Each state has their own version of the Landlord and Tenant Act. This will serve as a guide to understanding the relationship between you and your landlord. It will contain an eviction section to focus on, but be sure to read the entire document. You can get a copy through the Attorney General’s website or by going to a local courthouse.

Pay close attention to the details regarding evictions, especially anything that constitutes an illegal eviction. In general, the landlord has to give a certain amount of notice and you have a window of time to correct the situation. Not allowing or adhering to this is a violation. An illegal eviction is not allowed in most states. If your landlord tries to evict you outside of the process, you can sue them. For example, if they change the locks on you or remove any property.

  • Keep records

From the day you move in, you should keep documents and records of all interactions with your landlord. This is beneficial should anything like an eviction come up. Keep every notice or letter they give you. Record the time, date, and nature of any verbal communications too. Always keep cashed checks and receipts as well as maintenance records.

It is also a good idea to take photos of the property when you move in, or once any grievance occurs. Some landlords have been known to claim damage to property and claim it was done by you. The more documentation and evidence you have, the better your case will be against your landlord or eviction. Not all landlords try devious tactics, but it is best to be prepared in the event they do.

  • Consult with an attorney

It helps to get legal advice during an eviction, even though you do not need representation for the case. Use a private attorney if you can afford one or check with Legal Aid for assistance. Most cities have Legal Aid offices and will be happy to provide consultation services. You get information and advice for a reduced price and sometimes free. Be sure to take all your documents and evidence so they can help you set up your case. Running through the details with them gets you prepared mentally for the case ahead.

  • Go to the hearing

You need to go to an eviction hearing in court. You cannot be evicted without this and your landlord is responsible for scheduling this. Do not miss this hearing. If you do not show, the judge automatically rules in favor of the landlord. If you go to the hearing, you may have a chance of beating the eviction. You will never know if you decide to pass. When you show up, the landlord also cannot claim damage against you or any other fines.

Make sure you are prepared before you go. Plan to proceed in the same way you discussed with your attorney. Have all documents ready to present and establish your defense before you get there. Dress professionally and arrive early.

  • Handling an eviction

In some cases, the judge will rule in favor of the landlord. Even if you have all documents and a good defense, you need to be prepared for this outcome. Make arrangements ahead of time to stay somewhere else and plant to rent a storage unit. If you have already found another rental, you do not need to worry about that. BE prepared to leave the property quickly. Every state allows an amount of time for eviction and in some cases it can be as little as 48 hours.

  • Getting another place

Evictions can be reported to credit bureaus. This can hurt your chances of renting again. Most landlords do not report this but there are other ways credit companies can get this info. There are companies that collect information and sell it to prospective landlords.

Be prepared for your next landlord to know about the eviction. Don’t plan on hiding it. Explain the circumstances to them and be honest. You can present all the same documents you had for the hearing to make your case. It does not do any good to talk bad about the previous landlord, especially if the eviction was your fault. You do not want to appear like a problem tenant. It can take time to find a new rental.

Many will turn you down, but someone will approve of you. You should expect that when you are approved you will have to pay or a higher security deposit. The eviction becomes less relevant as time passes, especially when you begin to make on-time payments.

An eviction can seem disastrous and cause for worry. The important thing to remember is that you are not the only one to go through this. Many renters have been evicted and get through the process just fine. Protect yourself by following the laws and being honest. Be prepared and know your rights and you will have the best chance of beating an eviction. If you do get evicted, know that it is not the end of the world. With time, everything will be right again.

Need Help After Death of Roommate

Hello, my name is Troy and I am in need of help after my roommate passed away. I now need $3500 to get back on track for my rent.

I had a roommate starting at about October of last year. I worked with her and we began living together. Unfortunately, she passed away in late July. I was the one who found her passed in her room and I had to contact her family, the job, and her friends to notify them of what happened. I ended up taking days off from work while attending grief counseling through my job.

My landlord was also told about the death and she informed me that the August rent still wasn’t paid. I had given my roommate my half of the rent but because I wasn’t her family, I wasn’t able to get into her account to pay the rent and it was all going to her daughters so I didn’t want to put any more stress on the family. I scrounged up the money needed to pay the rent and was broke for the rest of August and the beginning of September.

My landlord allowed me to put a credit towards the rent by saying it was payment for October but September rent was racking up late fees. However, she told me she was unable to do that again. Now, I am in need of that money to stabilize my housing as she just contacted me today that she will have to move forward with eviction.

If you are able to spare anything, thank you for doing so. If you aren’t able to do so, thank you for at least reading this.

Please help save my family from eviction. $2150 for October and November rent.

It’s hard to ask for help, but I’m doing it for my sister, my 6-year-old niece, my 3-year-old nephew, and myself.

A year ago, we lost our mom. She was the heart of our family. She was the one who always made sure we were okay, no matter what. Losing her broke us in more ways than one. Emotionally, we’ve been trying to heal; financially, it’s been a constant struggle to stay afloat.

Since her passing, both my sister and I have faced periods of unemployment. We’ve been doing everything we can to provide for the kids, to keep their lives as normal and safe as possible, but lately, it’s been getting harder to keep up with rent and bills. Every month feels like a race we’re barely finishing, and now, we’re falling behind.

We’re not looking for luxury, just stability. A roof over our heads, warmth for the kids, and a little breathing room to get back on our feet.

If you’re reading this, please know that any amount you can give no matter how small makes a difference. You’d be helping us keep a safe home for two little ones who’ve already lost so much, and giving our family a chance to rebuild after one of the hardest years of our lives.

We are short $600 for the month of October, and will soon need an additional $1450 for the month of November. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, or donating. You’re helping us hold onto hope.

Eviction notice

Good day, I am Shaunada and I am requesting assistance with my rent amount $2515.00 also the court costs and attorney fees, which I do not know the additional amount as of yet. I work part-time at Belk in fine jewelry fourteen hours a week , likewise I am actively seeking additional fulltime work so I can work two jobs. My nineteen year old car motor went out so I salvaged it. My previous position at Dollar General as an associate store manager ended due to them closing the store down in July which caused me to get behind on my August and September rent. I am single and live alone with no additional assistance. I do not have any family in my state that I can live with nor do I have the funds to relocate. I would greatly appreciate any financial assistance. I would not even object to the rent being paid to the landlord and the court. I do not want to be homeless at all especially since I no longer have a car that I can even sleep in. I will file with the court on Monday requesting additional time to pack my belongings and try to get in a shelter if I do not receive these funds in time I currently have to move in seven days which will be October 9, 2025. I would like to thank every donor in advance for your generosity and assistance. Peace and blessing to all. My paypal link is paypal.me/Shaunada926

Urgent Help: Single Mom of 4 Just Lost Job – Facing Eviction This Week. Please Help!

Divorced recently, no child support. I was holding on to dear life to the job that helped me provide for my kids. My Boss lost a lot of money and started letting people go. My worst nightmare came real last week where I was let go after making my firm 40K of pure profit and have nothing to show for it. I received my last paycheck, not enough to cover my rent this month and next month is coming in fast. My landlord would not wait but I get that although I have been a good tenant over the years, she has a job to do. I need $4000 to give to my leasing office so they can put a stop to the eviction. I am doing all I can to come up with the money not only for rent but to pay my car, utilities and be able to take care of the kids at the same time. My priority now is to stop the eviction process. If you can help me though I’d not know you, I will forever be grateful.  I am looking for another job, I have great skills and strong business ethics, I urge you to please help me keep my apartment. I cannot afford being evicted with 4 kids. They have gone through a lot; I don’t even want them to know about it. I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.

EVICTION

Hello

I am coming to ask for financial help, and my situation is urgent. I am married with 3 children, and we’ve been evicted from our apartment because we couldn’t pay our rent anymore. This is due to a series of unexpected financial incidents.

We both work so we should be able to rent another place within the next 2 months but right now our bank accounts are empty as we’ve been obliged to rent a temporary accommodation urgently.

So to whoever could help us, please …. we need 2500 USD. We would need that money to pay our current rent (temporary) and to pay as a deposit to rent another apartment.

Please

Thank you

To rent a new place- need £800

I’m reaching out in the hope that you might be able to help me during an incredibly challenging time in my life. Unfortunately, I’ve recently found myself in a difficult financial situation due to circumstances beyond my control.

I had been working full-time and was managing my finances well. However, I lost my job unexpectedly, and despite my best efforts to find new employment, I haven’t been successful so far. This loss of income has put a significant strain on my financial stability.

To make matters worse, I’ve received an eviction notice from my landlord. With my financial situation deteriorating, I’m struggling to find a new place to stay. I’m facing the very real possibility of becoming homeless if I don’t act quickly.

I’m reaching out to ask if you might be able to contribute any amount to help me get back on my feet. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a huge difference. Your support could help me cover some of the costs associated with finding a new place to live, such as deposits, rent, or other essential expenses.

I want to assure you that I’m doing everything in my power to resolve this situation. I’m actively job hunting and seeking support from local services to get back on my feet. Your contribution would be a significant boost to my efforts and would give me the hope and motivation I need to keep moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. Your kindness and generosity would mean the world to me during this difficult time. If you’re able to contribute, please know that every little bit counts, and I’m grateful for your support.

I’m confident that with your help, I’ll be able to get back on my feet and start rebuilding my life. Your support would be a vital lifeline, and I’m grateful for your consideration.

Trying to recover from some hiccups and get back to my Purpose Protecting Families

My name is Gema. I am looking for some assistance in getting out of a hole and into business so I can provide for myself and family.

I was in a family business that closed their doors suddenly. Shortly after I got hit with a $42,000 invoice for equipment rental for the company I was with. Apparently, I had signed as a guarantor not knowing what that was. By the time my old boss took this to a lawyer, I was already facing judgement. My old boss is my grandbabies paternal grandfather so I can’t make this a big deal and let it disrupt my ability to see my babies. My only option is to file bankruptcy. I have not wanted to go back to a 9-5 as they stated they will go after my income. Additionally, I have been helping my dad who is 75 and struggling with his health. A 9-5 doesn’t allow flexibility to do that.

I got my Life Insurance license in 2019 and am trying to get back to it. I stepped out of the field after my mom passed Jan 2021. Out of all the polices I wrote, 2 cancelled, and I now have two debts I need to pay to be able to get back into life insurance. I cannot file bankruptcy until I get back into life insurance because the agencies and carriers ask if I have filed bankruptcy in the last 7 years, so I want to get on board with life insurance before filing. I owe John Hancock $801 and American Amicable $955. I have been able to discuss a payment plan and pay half of each of these ($875) to lift the Vector they have me on so I can get back to business. The other issue is that I am behind on rent for this month and with late fees, I am at $3,000. If I can get assistance with one or the other, I would be grateful, both would be a true blessing. I can then hit the ground running without the stress of losing my apartment. Being a single mother of 4 created some credit issues so a loan is not an option. Plus, I don’t have steady income as I am freelancing building websites and optimizing Google Business accounts. Life Insurance is where my heart lies. I want to live a life of purpose in my business and in my church. I just need to put all of this behind me.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and thank you in advance.

*I had to reset my PayPal link. I hope this should be complete later or tomorrow. PayPal said I can use my email gema.hrmc@gmail.com

Just need a little help

  • Hi, my name is Joe. I don’t really have a long story or anything tragic. I lost my job 2 months ago and as a result got behind on rent. I used my savings to make sure my daughters were feed and I was able to put gas in my car to get to interviews. I just recently got a new job and I’m playing a game of catch up, but I just need help paying the owed rent for the time i couldn’t pay. This is the first stable place I have be able to give my girls  after a stint of being homeless. I really don’t want to lose this apartment after we have just started getting settled.

Avoid Being Evicted

Hello my name is Kei 

 

I have exactly 3 DAYS left before I will be evicted out of my place for which I’ve had for 4.5 years now! I usually don’t have to ask for anything from anyone and I’m use to getting it on my own! My financial situation abruptly changed on me and I didn’t have enough time to situate myself better in order to prepare to my bills. I have nobody else on my corner to even go to and ask I’ve asked family and friends from whom I’ve given a grip to and have never asked for anything in return but the rare time I get in a bind and I can’t even get one person to look out and help me. I am a big kind hearted individual who is the one who gives to everybody and don’t ever think of myself or be selfish and right now I am the one in need of help. I am in dire need and would appreciate any and all help that I would be able to receive thanks in advance! $KeiThaaaG
