Help Luigi keep his home - 3 months behind on rent
After the loss of a second income, Luigi is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy2,732 views
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, Luigi fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,950.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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.
Luigi has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,450
• Late fees and court costs: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $415
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luigi.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $2,450, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Rooting for you, Laura. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Feira de Santana
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Brescia.
