Help Anaïs keep her home - 2 months behind on rent

After a delayed insurance payout, Anaïs is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in May, Anaïs fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $700. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Anaïs has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $700 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $440 • Late fees and court costs: $60 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $160 Thank you so much. - Ethan

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anaïs!

      • Ethan Philippe LecomteOwnerAnswerAddress verified

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (2 months) is the biggest at $440. Happy to explain more.

              it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

                  Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bologna so I could bring a meal
