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

A sudden layoff left Kaan short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, Kaan fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,250. 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 three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Kaan 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 $4,250 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $750 • Utilities in arrears: $190 • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,310 With deep gratitude, Sevgi

    • Brenda N. ByrdQuestion

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

      • Ximena E. Rangel

        I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Berlin!
