Johanna received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Johanna short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇩🇪 Dresden, Saxony, Germany3,518 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 3 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• First month of rent as a buffer: $720

wishing you the best. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Bangkok but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Dresden.
Best of luck, Johanna. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Dresden
