Favour received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a sudden layoff, Favour is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the warehouse closed in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 3 children 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 weekend shifts, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $430
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Favour. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from San Fernando.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 9 people at work. Greetings from Pretoria.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
praying for you, Favour. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Dasmariñas so I could bring a meal.
thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in 6th of October City this morning.
Shared this with my family. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Lagos.
