Keep a roof over Jack's head in London
A sudden layoff left Jack short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,138 views
When the textile factory closed in July, Jack fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,450.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Jack has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,150
• Late fees and court costs: $185
• Utilities in arrears: $310
• First month of rent as a buffer: $805
I hope life is good to you.
