Keep a roof over Lucía's head in Barcelona

A delayed insurance payout left Lucía short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Lucía fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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. Lucía has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $2,650 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,750 • Late fees and court costs: $195 • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $510 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Rosa

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

    • Francisco G. Velasco

      This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
