Keep a roof over Hatem's head in Chattanooga
After a delayed insurance payout, Hatem is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $1,450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $260
Glad we found this place.
