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

A termination letter arrived last week. Comfort needs $200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Abuja.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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. 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 $200 goes: โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $50 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $35 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $115 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      What's already covered and what's the $200 for?

      • Comfort UzorOwnerAnswer

        Utilities in arrears is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

    • Yang Yang Wei

      Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from London.

      • Ernestina Eunice Armah

        Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
