Re: Living rent free as we fix home

My name is Rae and I live in Ventura County., California. I am in need of some assistance in paying rent for this month and partial on last month's rent. I was living rent free for a while while the landlord made repairs, but when rent started I struggled.
I had a room I rented out and the last person didn't pay for last 2 months and he still has his things in the room so I can't rent it out until I get things out of there. I am disabled and can't do this myself so I am looking for volunteer services in the County also.
Back to rent with me having to cover that $1000.00 that tenant didn't pay I am cleaned out and this month without notice my SS check was $500.00 short. I contacted them and was told because I no longer have MediCal I was responsible for my part B Medicare I they took out the last 3 months....no letter nothing to give me a heads up. Three months ago I was receiving food stamps $250.00 a month because of pandemic and that has now been cut off.
I was living check to check before, while the landlord was making fixes, and now I am really in trouble as you can see.
If you can help in anyway or know of somewhere I can get help to deal with the end of the rent free deal I would greatly appreciate it. This has been my home for over 35 years and I am just afraid I will be getting an eviction notice if I can't get help.
I am attaching a copy of my monthly statement so you can see what is owed. I would not expect all that is owed. Anything would help.
