is there any paperwork, like the lease, that backs this up?
I do, the lease is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. Ask me anything else.
Sending love, Walid. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Rome
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Walid.
Rent top-up is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Rome!
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lazio. I'll ask around and let you know.
