Making a withdrawal from 401K?

My husband is in the process of filling the form out to withdrawal from his 401K. For the reason he put to prevent eviction. We own a house and we are having trouble paying not just the house bills, but all of our bills. He is asking for $5000. I know as far as paper work and rules that he is eligible for the actual withdrawal, but how do we prove that we are in a tough situation as far as paying everything?
We haven’t actually gotten a foreclosure notice….I don’t know why it says eviction (isn’t that for renters)?
Anyway can someone help me with this? He asked me to mail it tomorrow, but I know they will need some kind of verification or proof.
What can we show them?….it’s simply a combination of things.
We had a situation this summer which caused us to be behind ever since.
We are not actually $5000 behind in mortgage, just wanted the funds to get caught up with our mortgage and bills….we ARE behind in our mortgage payments though.
They have already sent the form for us to sign. It just says something about verifying this…and I have no idea how to verify a multiple of situations…..because it’s not solely a mortgage problem.
well then tell me what ARE we supposed to do?? Make too much money for government assistance. Not enough to get back on our feet.
As I said, a situation came up this summer and we have been behind ever since.
What are we to do??

Apt. MISERY — need help. Landlord promised a quiet environment verbally but promise was not kept. It has been?

This place is awful– police have been out here multiple times for noise complaints but its been going on for 2 months now and apparently they never cite them because “its a university town and kids party”.
I have lost sleep, been placed on meds for stress and my schooling has been ruined – focus concentration so bad I had to drop from my own classes. I cant afford a good attorney and the landlord wont let me out unless I sublease which means I am responsible if someone damages the apartment. I’ve contacted everyone, including the press and the a police captain and a police colonel. Anyone have any ideas as to why the landlord wont admit his lies and let me out? Especially as its been making me ill?

Can I get personal property back after it was taken by the leasing company that also evicted me?

Last Oct I was evicted from my apartment for failure to pay rent. I lost my job and outright didn’t pay more than a portion of one month of the three months I lived there.
Prior to the eviction, some unfriendly women working for the Lend leasing company came banging on my door so loud I jumped out of my skin. I opened the door and 2 women pranced in and continued to insult me and demand I pay them rent money or they would take my things.
They helped themselves to my son’s flat screen television, his xbox 360, his xbox , my stereo, vcr, and dvd player and also another small flat screen television that did not belong to me but to a friend who had temporally stored it there.
They were extremely disrespectful. I in no way confronted them or was hostile but just stood dumfounded and ready to cry. I had recently lost my job along with self esteem and confidence.
I did go to court and did not disagree with the eviction. The day I had to be out I packed my belongings the best I could, knowing the leasing company would physically be removing my belongings from the apartment to the parking lot. The law officer showed up that morning and I asked him if I needed to leave my apartment. He said no stating that i was cooperative. I was in the apartment still packing when I heard loud crashing sounds. I came out to see one of the workers throwing my backback over the ledge of the third floor I lived on. I again almost began crying. One of them said it wasn’t anything breakable. I don’t think the worker realized I was in the apartment when he threw the item. I asked that they please not throw my things in such a manner. I didnt realize untill days later that there was actually breakable items in the backpack which included a pair of binoculars and a chi hair straightener.
I was inside the apartment looking in the phone book for a moving company and one of the Lend ladies entered my apartment began insulting me again stating she couldnt believe I didn’t know where i was going or what i was going to do with my belongings and why was i so irresponsible and I was taking up her men to move my stuff.
Why did these people insist on kicking me when I was down? I am in no shape or form a confrontational person. No, I didn’t pay rent and I was not uncooporative with the eviction.
It has been almost five months I have not payed the money I owe the leasing company. I am going to visit my son in PR this weekend. I also lost custody of him this past year and have not seen him for almost 2 years. He has been asking on the phone about his xbox 360 and it really kills me. Losing my son has been the most painful experience of my life. I know what has happened to me is a result of poor choices on my part but it still really hurts especially when it comes to issues with my son.
Long story short, what happens to belongings that leasing companies take in cases like mine and is there a chance of possibly getting them back.
