Keep a roof over Daniel's head in Lagos
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Daniel needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria137 views
When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.
