Keep a roof over Piotr's head in Warsaw

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Piotr needs $1,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Warsaw.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,150 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $110 • First month of rent as a buffer: $230 • Rent arrears (3 months): $810 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Piotr

    Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Bellevue this morning. Blessings.

    • Riley L. Powell

        Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from St. Petersburg.

        • Pratik T. GalaQuestion

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

          • Piotr Jakub StępieńOwnerAnswer

            Sure. The biggest one is late fees and court costs, $110. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

        • Alberto A. Guzmán

          so sorry you're going through this, Piotr. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          • Robel Zelalem Negash

            Best of luck, Piotr. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

            • Ramón H. Flores

              Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
