Hey guys, I know I’ve asked for a lot of help with rent these last few years, but I really need help this time because things are getting a little wild on my end.
I'm not normally one to put my personal business on blast like this, but long story short, my mom has gone off the fucking rails. We're planning on moving out of this shitty apartment in the next few months. Keyword here being 'months'. however, my mom thinks that because we're planning on moving, that means we're already moving, which means we're practically already moved out and our next place is guaranteed.
We do not have a set move date. We do not even know if we're approved to move yet. We just have a place picked out and an idea that we would like to move.
Given my mother's crappy logic, she believes that means she doesn't owe our landlord rent anymore, because why pay for another month if we won't be here for it? We will very much still be here for it. This is where even more of her shitty logic comes into play; my mom thinks she can "game the system" to keep us from getting evicted and thrown out on the streets before we're ready to move. The system being the legal system. The fucking. Legal. System.
Her plan is to not pay for this month, not pay for next month (July), hoping that they'll start the eviction process at the end of July and she has some weird plot of being able to drag it out through August and into September by filing a response to the eviction once it's been filed for non-payment of rent.
However, for some reason, she seems unaware that they will start the eviction process at the end of this month and have everything ready come July, because they can, do, and have evicted people for being behind one month of rent. They have proven this time and time again, especially in the past with us when they've tried to file for eviction (the last time I was here was because she was mad at our property manager and decided not to pay rent as a way to "get back at them" which we saw how that turned out).
I would very much like to not be thrown out on the streets into the heat during the driest spring on fucking record here in my state. I have senior dogs and senior cats who will already be stressed out by the impending move, and being homeless will only make that worse. I am begging for help so I can literally go behind my mom's back to pay our rent before the next billing cycle rolls around with the start of July.
A friend was kind enough to give me half of what i needed, so the bar will be much lower than it normally is. I don't know what I'm going to do about July yet, I’ll have to wait and see if I can convince her to pay then. as always, please share if you can't donate! Every bit counts <3
Here's my ko-fi goal if you'd like to help
