Help Ruslan keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
After a divorce, Ruslan is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇷🇺 Russia733 views
When the call centre closed in July, Ruslan fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,150.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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.
Ruslan 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $780
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $235

Hope it all works out, Maria. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Moscow.
