Anthony received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Anthony needs $3,500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Christchurch.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,500 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,650 • First month of rent as a buffer: $640 • Late fees and court costs: $210 With deep gratitude, Anthony

Updates from Anthony

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($233). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.
