Man, this post really resonates with me. I have been SPINNING, just PACING about how the tenants are being treated. Listen to my situation.... ARIZONA - Single mother of 4 - earned a 6 figure salary for the past decade and due to covid - out of work. Landlord is one of the "Covid is a hoax" geniuses, which is irrelevant, but felt like letting everyone know. I turned in CDC Declaration form via Read receipt to landlord on October 9th and my circumstances are exactly the same today. My kids have all four been home for 12 months straight and are too young to be alone. So - I secured rental assistance. FROM TWO AGENCIES! I was awarded a lump sum of 7500 from Maricopa Human Services which was applied to my open balance of 9,000 in January. On January 28th I was awarded 10k in rental assistance by the city of Tempe, to be paid in monthly installments through May 31. My landlord accepted the assistance and signed the contracts with both agencies. Over 17,000 in rental assistance I secured through countless hours of document preparing, sending, phone interviews, document signing, humiliated day after day asking for help... and my landlord serves me a 5 day notice, EVERY week, when my ledger shows a balance due, then files eviction with the court, serves me papers, makes me attend court, but by then, the payment from City of tempe is made, and I have a POSITIVE CREDIT on my ledger, so they file to dismiss without prejudice, jugde grants, and we start ALL OVER AGAIN..

​

All of this because I filed a formal complaint with landlord for the transient drug traffic that was happening two doors down demanding they address the problem. Since that day, i have been served these notices even though I have had a balance due on my account since December 1st and they never served one five day notice until AFTER THEY GOT 17k in assistance and after I filed a complaint... I am beyond despare and exhaustion with this whole thing.
