i really, really hate to do this again, but i have no other real choice at the moment as i am looking for another job in order to help supplement my current income from my artwork and sw. as far as my previous donation post - the water has successfully been turned on and my section 8 inspection went well in terms of them having no issues on the tenant side, but lots of flagged issues on the landlord’s side.
my landlord is kind of a piece of shit. he, after receiving the above letter (they send it to both the tenant and the owner/landlord), paid us a visit and talked about the issues that the inspector had with the apartment. his main concern was the carpet. this carpet has been here long before we ever lived here, it’s ugly and dirty no matter how much you shampoo it, there are stains that are unexplained and completely stuck to the carpet no matter what you do to try to get it off, sometimes it smells of ammonia from the previous tenants pitbulls who apparently just did their business in the house.
we were told, and i quote, “well, i’m not saying anything for sure, but most of the time in situations like this it’s easier to just let the thirty days run out, move you guys out, fix the place up once your stuff is all moved out, then rent it to someone else and raise the rent.”
he’s a genuine slumlord as i’ve mentioned in previous posts. the first photo is all of my current account balances. i have about $23 dollars to my name in cash currently. we do not have the means to move, and we’re both sure that this is going to end up being the case.
we do not have a vehicle and until i get any calls back from jobs i’ve applied to, this is the only money we have. even then, i have to wait a minimum two weeks before i’ll even get a paycheck, and working minimum wage even at 5-6 days/40hrs a week+, that paycheck likely won’t even cover the deposit on another place to live after taxes, etc.
we need at least $600 for a deposit, as we cannot have a one bedroom due to section 8 rules in my city. we also need an undetermined amount to activate all the utilities at the new place, unsure of how much exactly that’ll run us, we figure somewhere between $170-$220, we also need to rent a u-haul in order to move, at the very least, the essentials - we’re willing to leave a lot behind just in order to make sure we’re safely in another home and not on the street, the people we spoke with on the phone @ u-haul quoted us around $260 for what we need altogether.
i’m 21 years old with a lot of mental illnesses (clinical & manic depression, generalized anxiety disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, i’ve attempted suicide more than i’d like to admit - and recently, at that), and i live with my mother who is disabled and has been since 2004, she has no income as social security denied her disability three times and she cannot appeal again. she has chronic fatigue, spondylosis of several vertebrae in her upper and lower spine, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, and a whole list of more medical issues that make it difficult for her to do small things like housework or cooking or sometimes even bathing, so i do my best to help her.
please, i’m not too proud to beg, if you can donate anything at all to help keep my mom and i from being on the street, i will be forever grateful. and if you can’t, please signal boost this post!
