Kai received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Kai short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,904 views
When the restaurant closed in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
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 have two young 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800
• Late fees and court costs: $100
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $815
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Good luck, Kai. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
Best of luck, Kai. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thanks for sharing this, Kai. Hope you get there. Take care.
sending good thoughts, Kai. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kai
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $1,800. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Birmingham
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Birmingham.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kobe but we're thinking of you.
