Keep a roof over Brandon's head in Southampton
A sudden layoff left Brandon short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,150 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
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 have a teenager still in school 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.
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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,600
• Late fees and court costs: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• First month of rent as a buffer: $550
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
