Keep a roof over Emilia's head in London
After a sudden layoff, Emilia is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,600
• Late fees and court costs: $115
Thank you for reading my story.
