Keep a roof over Jorge's head in Tarragona
After a cut in working hours, Jorge is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain3,511 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
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 $2,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,600
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $365
With deep gratitude,
Jorge

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tarragona
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (3 months), advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you, Jorge. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Fort Worth.
so sorry you're going through this, Jorge. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Keep going, Jorge. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Tarragona
Sending love, Jorge. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you, Jorge. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Rochester this morning.
