Facing homelessness in California
Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2014 7:38 pm
Hello, my family and I reside in Chula Vista California. My husband and I have 7 children ages 9- 21 years old. For about 2 years now we have been in a horrible situation with where we live, due to the habitability issues, lack of repairing and safe sanitary living from no hot water to rats vermin roach infestation. There is also mold, termites no heater, improper working stove. So we decided to enforced repairs after several attempts to contact owner, with the code division of Chula Vista.
Well upon inspection owner was severely sanctioned and fined forced to repair our duplex, which is still occurring today, now after several attempts of harassment from owner service of 3 day retaliation eviction tactics, that have failed. So we hired legal aid society due to severe financial hardship and being permanently disabled, my husband.
We have been forced to sign a agreement to vacate home by October 1st and we are now being put in a horrible position basically pressured. We don't have the financial men's to just move, our children have established schools teachers and we have a 6 the grader who will be graduating in September. To just move one month be for, would put us not only homeless but our kids would have to create a adjustment to new schools and teachers.
It is not fair being that we only bring in 1200 month and we can not afford a 3 bedroom home for our many children. We don't feel it's right for us to have to leave just due to the owner not liking us anymore. We have lived a total 3 years as good tenants, we don't know what to, we need help. I can not bare to be put on the street without children for owner negligence . Please can you be of any help with rental aid. We hope to here from someone soon. Thank you and god bless.
