Keep a roof over Gabriel's head in Alicante
After the loss of a second income, Gabriel is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇪🇸 Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain2,089 views
When the restaurant closed in April, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $2,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $145
• First month of rent as a buffer: $405
With deep gratitude,
Gabriel

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ikeja
sending good thoughts, Gabriel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Alicante.
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
