Help Kulap keep her home - 2 months behind on rent

After a sudden layoff, Kulap is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, Kulap fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $950. 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 a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Kulap 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 $950 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $690 • Late fees and court costs: $85 • Utilities in arrears: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $130 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        • Vilai Ploy AmpaiOwnerAnswer

          It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (2 months) is the big one at $690, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.

                Good luck, Vilai. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Cincinnati.
