Keep a roof over Ngọc's head in Thủ Đức
After a divorce, Ngọc is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam591 views
When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 1 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $560
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
