Keep a roof over Günter's head in Kassel

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Günter needs $3,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kassel.

Kassel
When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,050. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave. I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,050 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,700 • Late fees and court costs: $290 • Utilities in arrears: $160 • First month of rent as a buffer: $900 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

        hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

        • Supriya C. Vora

          Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Contagem donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

          • Hui Rui TangQuestion

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Günter.

            • Günter WernerOwnerAnswer

              It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $1,700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.

          • Suhas D. Amin

            Best of luck, Günter. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
