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.

Single Mother In Need of Financial Assistance

Hello to All,

 

First of all I must say, thank you for taking the time to read my story and thank you if you even consider helping me. It’s a blessing to be in a position to help others and I pray I am able to do the same one day.

My Story:

I am a single Mother of two under aged children who I care for full time (four total- one deceased and one adult child).  Here recently, I have fallen on hard times. For the past couple years I have been trying so hard to recover from health issues while trying to survive and keep a roof over my family’s head.

It started with Covid. When Covid happened, my family and I became displaced. Struggling to survive with four children who depended on me and I could barely keep a roof over our head. We lived out of hotels and AirBnB’s which ever I could over and moved around alot while trying to do viritial school. We ended up losing my oldest to gun violence and I was faced with being homeless while guiding three children through virtual school. One struggling to get through his senior year while grieving his big brother, another starting kindergarten and entering school for the first time which had to be remote while I struggled to guide her while fighting Covid myself and trying not to pass it to them.

I fought everyday to work full time in a warehouse, take care of the kids while not allowing grieving my child to get the best of me. We prevailed! My hard work paid off. I was able to secure my family a roof over our head and begin rebuilding. I was so grateful, God knows.

Fast forward to not even a year later, I randomly suffered a heart attack while laying in bed on a Saturday morning. I was in the hospital for a couple days when I had another heart attack. Doctors were baffled at first because here I was a perfectly healthy female under the age of 40 having a heart attack and no one knew why. After test they found a tear in one of my arteries that was causing the heart attacks which would continue until I was placed on medications to help stop them. Doctors beleived my condition was caused by grieiving and stress until my heart just couldn’t take anymore. I had to take the medications for a year while my heart healed itself because I was too young for surgery.

I could only be out of work one week to recover because my income was the only income that kept us afloat. I accumalted over $20,000 in hospital bills due to not having health insurance and have struggled to stay independent since then. Thanks to rent assistance programs available during Covid and shortly after, I was able to survive and God I am so grateful for that.  I’m not quiter so once I was healthy enough I begin taking on task to earn extra income because at this point bills were behind and I needed the help.

Since then I have managed to move my family out of a bug infested apartment which was the best I could do during Covid. We are now in a clean apartment but I have gotten behind recently. I have had ongoing complications since my heart attack and when I over exert myself I have severe panic attacks that leave me out of commission for days or weeks at a time. My only income currently is a full time job that is considered a temp job so I don’t earn paid time off, sick days and I can not afford the health insurance offered.

I am facing eviction currently and stressed about the thought of my family being homeless again. I am still working but struggling to come up with the fees that are continiously added to my late rent, as well as keeping groceries in our home and just the day to day necessities my family needs. My utilities are behind and my vehicle that I normally use to Uber and do Amazon Flex to earn extra income in need of some serious repairs that I’ve been putting on the back burner due to not being able to afford. Our apartment is not furnished due to me having to throw away most of our belongings to prevent bring the bugs when we moved.

I honestly have never just looked for handouts and have worked my hardest my entire adult life to provide for my family. Sometimes good people struggle trying to do the right thing and just need a helping hand. I want to be able to catch on my bills up rent with evicition filing happening any day now since I am two months behind, repair my car so that I can continue to use it to earn money for my family and at least put some beds and a dining set in our new place so our mattresses will not be on the floor and we can have a place to share our family meals.

Unfortunately I do not qualify for government assistance and there are no rent assistance programs available like there was doing Covid. My credit is low due to hospital bills and past due credit cards which I have used for groceries and survival. I can’t qualify for a loan and do not have anyone in our lives that could help us in this situation.

If you find it in your heart to help us with any donation amount, I will be so very grateful because it will bring us a step closer to stability. I am grateful for any assistance I can receive and I promise when I am in a better position I plan to pay it forward because this type of generosity helps the world go round.

A Single Mother’s Struggle: On the Brink of Eviction, Fighting for Her Family

As a single mother, I’ve always done everything in my power to provide a stable life for my child. But lately, life has thrown more challenges my way than I can manage alone. I’m two months behind on rent, and the reality of eviction is looming over us. If I can’t come up with the funds soon, we could lose our home.

To make matters worse, my hours at work were cut, and despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to catch up on bills. I’ve started driving for Lyft and Uber, working every hour I can spare, but it’s still not enough to cover everything. Between rent, utilities, and other essentials, the debt is piling up faster than I can keep up with.

I’m turning to the kindness of others because I need to raise $6,000 to cover the back rent and bills before it’s too late. I’m terrified of what will happen if I can’t come up with the money. Asking for help is hard, but I know that without it, my child and I could be left without a place to call home.

If you’re able to contribute anything, it would make an enormous difference. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can provide during this incredibly tough time.

Need a helping hand – bills/rent

My name is Raj, I live in a college town.  I drive Uber full time.  Summer was a bit slow, but i was managing.  Things fell apart in July when I was driving a female home and she thought I was being in appropriate.  I wasn’t! My hands shake uncontrollably from time to time as I have Parkinson’s.  It’s not been an easy road but I’m coping.

As you can imagine she reported me to Uber, my account was deactivated with no notice.  Having no income wasn’t an option so I started giving cash rides to keep up while Uber investigated.  I ultimately got my account back and continue to drive.  However with bills piling up and rent about to be past due in a couple days cause I haven’t made enough yet this week to pay that either.    Between depleting my savings and having a couple of off days because of my Parkinson’s and not being able to relax my muscles and nervous system I am falling behind more and more.

I’m asking for $1400 to pay rent but if I were to ask for what I need I would need 3000 just to help reduce the stress.

Thank you for taking the time to hear my story.

Eminent Eviction by Scrupulous Property Management

I’ve been suffering with a MRSA bacterial infection for over 7 years. My last hospital stay was for 6 days and I was put on 5 different antibiotics. While in the hospital my. Landlord files eviction papers. The money they are demanding is not factual to what I actually owe in rent. To stop the Marshals for coming and locking me out of my home before I can fight my landlord on these claims I need to pay a lawyer up to $1500

Eviction

Greetings to all. My name is Marzetta Nicholson. I never in my life would have ever thought  first: there was a site like this available and second: that I would ever have need of a site like this.

Here is a little about me. I am 54 years old, married but separated 8 years, disabled and educated. I have never been rich but neither have I been for either, ( until now ). I work from 9 years old until I was 38 years old. I had back surgery that didn’t work when I was 40 and my neuropathy started 3 years later at 43. I have lived with chronic pain for 14 years now. When I was hit with the neuropathy I was paralyzed from my waist down and my hands. By the grace of God and physical therapy I was able to regain feelings in my lower half and learn how to walk and use my hands again after 6 months. When I left the rehab facility I was using a wheelchair and walker. I still have poor circulation in my legs and hands and still have the chronic back pain along with it. My condition is still the same to this day. I can’t stand for long periods of time and I can’t walk for before needing to sit down to relieve my leg and back pain.

Now the reason I am here. I get disability but after the bills and necessary items I don’t have much left over. So after living this way for 13 years I realized I didn’t want to live like this anymore. My New Year’s resolution for 2023 was to live life instead of letting life live me. So I said I would try to find a part-time job to bring in extra income, exercise more and be more social. I knew I couldn’t go to a workplace and get employment because I can’t stand long, sit long or focus on. So being there was a lot of work from home jobs because of the pandemic I figured that would be the best way to go. Well I got a job and went through the training and all was good right? Wrong……. The job got my money and held at hostage requiring a ransom to release the funds. LOL, that’s what it felt like and the best way I can explain it. One amount turned into another amount and then another higher amount before I would supposedly be able to withdraw my commission and base pay. I spent my whole check and $500 of my estranged husband’s money and they still didn’t release the money to me. That was the first scam. Distraught, bills doubling up, not seeing resolution to my dilemma I started working on trying to catch up. So social media and commercials were talking about AI and how profitable it is to invest using AI a no lose way to gain a passive to sky’s the limit wealth I decided to give it a try. Sign me up, LOL. I signed up and I was introduce to a traitor that would walk me through the process. I started with $61 so it was slow gaining profit. I didn’t want to withdraw it until I was going to really need it and I was going to use my profit to make me higher profit. I had made 10 times my original investment in five weeks. So I needed to withdraw some of the money to take care of some bills that I needed to pay.. did the withdrawal process for a partial amount and lo and behold my account is froze and funds can’t be dispersed. I need to pay some fees because there was an error in my sign up account that can be fixed if I pay the fee. So in 3 months I was scammed twice.

So again my reason for coming to this site is to ask for help to get back on my feet. My landlord is evicting me because she is tired of the excuses (as she calls it ). I don’t want to move, 1- because I like it here, 2- because I don’t have anyone to help me move or to even pay anyone to help me move, 3- I don’t have the money to pay first month rent and deposit. Because I don’t have a child living with me I can’t get help from social service. I live in a small town and a lot of resources are not available. I’m not trying to get rich or pull the wall over anyone’s eyes. I just have to put my pride aside and ask for help. If I could get $3,000 I would be able to pay my rent,  catch up my bills and be able to start over on a level ground. Please I am asking for a little generosity and compassion. I have more days before I have to be out and homeless. I don’t even have a car to live in. Sorry to be so last minute coming on here but I really can use the help. I’m begging for the help actually. Every little bit will help I promise.

Single Mom in Desperate Situation

I am a single mother of a special needs daughter. I have not been able to work all summer because of her needs. I am getting things under control, and I am looking for work. I did start an Amazon job, but my car was repossessed. I am also looking at eviction on the 19th of this month. I am desperate and do not want to start compromising safety and body for money. Please help us! I need $ 1800 not to be evicted and $ 3,000 to get my car back.

I am not worried about the car as much about the housing! I would rather have my home. Please help us. I am so scared. I am looking for work as well that is within walking distance from my house. My daughter needs to feel secure and I am not sure how else  I can keep myself together. I am trying all avenues for help. I got denied emergency help because the local welfare office computer broke down and they didn’t have my paperwork (even though I turned it in online 2 weeks prior).

I am trying to trust that God has this in control. I hope that someone can help me, please. My daughter deserves it.

Single Dad needs help saving house.

Hello, my name is Michael.  I am a single dad to 2 children.  I work very hard at two jobs trying to support my kids by myself.  I think I do a pretty good job, but there are just some things that are out of my control and leads me to this site asking for help.  My Daughter is 20 and in college.  She was able to get some grants and loans to pay for school.  She works and takes care of most of her own expenses, but I help out when she needs extra.  My son is 14 and lives with me full time.  I take care of almost all of his needs financially.  Their mother does not help out much.  She does by some clothes for my son every Christmas, and I am thankful for that.  When Covid hit I lost my job and started to fall behind.  I was able to keep up with most of my bills including feeding the family, but I wasn’t able to make the payments on my Real-estate taxes for my home.  I truly thought it was something that I could easily catch back up on.  Unfortunately, they do not let you make payments on these taxes after you fall behind.  I was told to continue to pay the following years taxes and save the money to pay the past due all at once.  The total is $6500.  Every time I get a little saved something comes up and I am behind again.  I work 2 jobs and I am still having trouble saving the money to pay past due amount.  I have 2 months to come up with $6500 or my son and I are going to be homeless.  Any help would be appreciated!  You can donate here at paypal.me/michaellefler

Help, please!

I am being evicted from the house I am renting out because my formal landlord is retiring. All his properties are now up for sale and if I don’t buy my house or if someone else doesn’t buy it; I will be thrown to the curb. I don’t have emergency money saved up since I had to dip into some of it to buy my child their much needed medications. All I need is $10,000 so my child and I can have a roof over our heads. Thank you so, so much for any help that you’ll lend! :)

I need help to avoid eviction

I am seeking assistance to avoid eviction. I care for my disabled brother while I work from home, and I am a wife of a disabled veteran. Although I work, we have a very tight budget. My husband’s monthly income is normally used to pay rent. I am responsible for all other household bills such as prescription refills, utilities, groceries, household items, cable and internet. (The internet is required due to me working from home.)

Our utility company has had ongoing issues with its equipment and billing. They performed some kind of investigation of the equipment due to potential incorrect charges. As a result, customers’ bills were being delayed. I was one of thousands impacted by this. For me, it began October 2022 to August 2023 and then again February 2024. I did not get a bill for 10 months the first time. Then I received multiple estimated bills at once, threatening to disconnect without a payment. They offered to make payment arrangements; however, I was required to make a 25% down payment to qualify for an arrangement. I was fortunate to be able to make the 25% down payment and everything was on track until February 2024. The bills stopped coming again. I continued to pay what my bill averaged every month hoping that when they get the issue resolved, I wouldn’t have a large bill like the first time.
[My car was stolen in November 2023 and was totaled. So now, until I can get another car, I have to order everything online and pay for rides when I need to go somewhere.]
But just as before, I received multiple estimated bills within days if each other, threatening to disconnect without a payment. This time the monthly rate was triple what I was accustomed to paying even though none of my habits have changed when it comes to how my utilities are used. To qualify for a payment arrangement and avoid disconnection, I had to pay $1403. (25% plus one month due to the billing cycle) I am disputing the accuracy of the bill but I was still required to pay while they do their due diligence. We only have one utility company here which left me no choice. So, to avoid disconnection and continue to be able to work, I had to use the rent money to keep the utilities active. This was unexpected and has created a huge financial hardship for me/us. The rent for August is now late and late fees have been applied to my balance. Normally eviction proceedings begin on August 15th. The property manager has given me an extension to pay $139$1391.50 ($1265 for rent and $126.50 late fee) by August 21st to avoid court, court costs and eviction. As I stated before, we are on a very tight budget, living paycheck to paycheck and I have no other means to come up with the money to avoid eviction. I have contacted multiple charities in my area with no luck.
In summary, delayed billing for my utilities created a financial hardship that could leave my family and myself homeless. I am asking for assistance ($1391.50) to get back on track and avoid eviction.
Thanks in advance for any contributions, donations, well wishes to keep a roof over our heads!

freedom

First, I’d like to thank you all for your time.

For the past 7 years I’ve been a relationship with a Narcissist.   At first it was verbal abuse with turned physical. His favorite seemed to be cutting me down and punching me in the head while I was driving, and then yanking the steering wheel.  I went from singing and dancing at work to barely able to pull off a half grin at a hilarious joke.

He drained me mentally, spiritually, financially…  I was the only one that worked 95% of the relationship.

Curve ball was I end up getting covid and having to take a couple weeks off.  That put me even further in financial debt.

I finally got him to leave and am trying to get into a new place, With the same property owner.  There’s a problem though, since I’m behind on my bills/rent the owner won’t relocate me.

So I’m asking for assistance.   I would be beyond grateful for any help.

I thank you for taking time from your day to even read this!

Bless you.
