I'm passed due in my rent for July and my lease is going to lapse the beginning OF August! I need help to pay my past due bill of $891.00 before I am evicted in August.
I was keeping up my rent through this COVID'19 but I lapsed $150 rent last month and still owe $550 for this month. Can you all please help me keep up b4 this month is out.
I need help I was already evicted from another apartment during covid-19 when there was a band on evictions so I am seeking a lawyer about this now I have rented a new place and I am behind on my rent here as well.
I am a single mother and I was trying to seek help on rental or utilities assistance. I am unable to work due to diabetes and high blood pressure.
When can we expect help in paying the rent and utility, I don't want to be evicted or my lights or water to go off.
I need help with my rent. I need help for 2 payment.
