Help Eugene keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Eugene needs $3,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Durham.

When the warehouse closed in August, Eugene fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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.
Eugene has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,100 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,750
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,040
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this, Amelia. Shared this with my family. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eugene
Late fees and court costs is $310 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Durham.
Good luck, Amelia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Swansea.
thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
