Keep a roof over Brooklyn's head in Minneapolis

A termination letter arrived last week. Brooklyn needs $4,450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Minneapolis.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,450 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $3,350 • First month of rent as a buffer: $850 • Late fees and court costs: $250 Glad we found this place.

          Rooting for you, Brooklyn. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.

          • Ignacio N. Paredes

            Hope things get better soon, Brooklyn. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
