Gustav received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Gustav short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇸🇪 Västra Götaland, Sweden3,242 views
When the packaging plant closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,250
• Utilities in arrears: $340
• Late fees and court costs: $360
Thanks for reading all this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Gustav?
Thank you. If you're in Gothenburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rooting for you, Gustav. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Salvador.
Rooting for you, Gustav. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Gustav. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
