Keep a roof over Isa's head in Rotterdam

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Isa needs $3,350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Rotterdam.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I've 3 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. 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 $3,350 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150 • Utilities in arrears: $125 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,075 If you're reading this, thank you.

    praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Rotterdam.

    • Eva D. EdwardsQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isa.

      • Isa Petra HermansOwnerAnswer

        Rent arrears (3 months) is $2,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • Sorin Radu Barbu

      Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Quezon City
