Horst received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A divorce left Horst short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the warehouse closed in March, Horst fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,300. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave. There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Horst 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. 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 $4,300 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $3,100 • Late fees and court costs: $185 • Utilities in arrears: $260 • First month of rent as a buffer: $755 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Finn

Updates from Finn

  1. Thank you all. We're at 58% now ($2,481). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

  2. We're at 39% thanks to 55 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,254 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Bavaria. I'll ask around and let you know

      Thinking of you, Finn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from San Jose

      • Talha Mubashir Rehman

        Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.

        • Marta S. HerreraQuestion

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Horst.

          • Finn KrügerOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (4 months), $3,100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.

        • Ethan M. Miranda

          take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

          • Emma B. Radcliffe

            Stay strong, Finn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon

              Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Dallas so I could bring a meal

                Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
