İpek received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A long illness left İpek short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,421 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 1 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 evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $850 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
• Rent arrears (3 months): $640
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
