When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $240 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ife!

    • Rent arrears (3 months) is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Lagos.
