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

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Arvid needs $4,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Stockholm.

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $4,250 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $3,400 • Late fees and court costs: $260 • Utilities in arrears: $125 • First month of rent as a buffer: $465 Thank you so much.

Updates from Arvid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($735 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($449). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week. - Arvid

  3. 5% there. I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Thank you.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arvid.

    • Arvid HenrikssonOwnerAnswer

      Rent arrears (5 months) is $3,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

  • Huy Dũng Ly

    Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Saket donated after I showed her your page.

    • Gerald W. Owens

      Thinking of you, Arvid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

      • Ruth T. Spencer

        So sorry you're going through this, Arvid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Stockholm.

        • Cristiane Beatriz Farias

          Stay strong, Arvid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Ikeja

          • Yetunde Halima Lawal

            Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Stockholm

                Hang in there, Arvid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Salé so I could bring a meal.
