Help Mongkol keep his home - 2 months behind on rent

After the closure of the factory, Mongkol is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the construction firm closed in August, Mongkol fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,000. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Mongkol has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,000 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $610 • Late fees and court costs: $70 • Utilities in arrears: $90 • First month of rent as a buffer: $230 Thanks for being kind about this. - Chatchai

      Keep going, Chatchai. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Pattaya.
