Keep a roof over Ido's head in Haifa

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Ido needs $3,700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Haifa.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700. 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 three school-aged 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,700 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,600 • Late fees and court costs: $260 • Utilities in arrears: $85 • First month of rent as a buffer: $755 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Ido

      Rooting for you, Ido. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.

      • Eka Winda HandokoQuestion

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

        • Ido ShalomOwnerAnswer

          The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $2,600.
