Keep a roof over Alessandro's head in Rome
After a long illness, Alessandro is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy2,457 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 $2,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I've 4 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $350
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,550
• Late fees and court costs: $200
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Alessandro. Hope you get there. Thinking of Rome
Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Erie
Thanks for sharing this, Alessandro. Shared this with my family. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Rennes
thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Ekurhuleni this morning. Take care.
