Help cover moving costs

Donation protected
Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

There's a lot to this, but I'll go through it all as concisely a possible.

My partner moved into this flat just over 3 years ago, and has been plagued with issues since. These include black mould, water damage to walls causing them to literally crumble and fall down, all of the windows in the property are single glazing and all of the seals have blown, meaning it rains inside when the wind blows the rain in the right direction. We have a moth infestation that has destroyed the carpets, and floor tiles have been broken by contractors. 

In November last year, the property was purchased by a new landlord. They have tried to put our rent up from £950 pcm to £1400 pcm, supposedly to reflect the value of the flat after it has been converted into a 2 bed. We informed them that we would be happy to pay the increased rent once all the renovations and reconfiguration have taken place.

Yesterday we received an email from the new property managers stating that they will do the repairs, and reconfiguration of the flat, but this would come along with an even more hefty rent increase, and was sent along with a section 21 eviction notice. 

We have been given 2 months to leave the property or it goes to court. This is something that as a disabled human with various chronic illnesses, we just don't have the ability or spoons to deal with.

We have been offered somewhere to live come March, renting the ground floor of a friends home, but the property needs to be completely cleared and deep cleaned, as well as a new kitchen fitted and a lot of the electrics need redoing. 

The cost of the deep clean, electrics, and kitchen, will be split between us and the properties owner, and we are hoping to raise as much of our half of the costs as much as we can in order to make the property safe and liveable before 11th March when we have to vacate our current flat. 

The funds raised will be going towards helping us move, and the work that needs doing on the new property. Both my partner and myself are extremely appreciative of any help we receive.
