Keep a roof over Rashid's head in Riyadh
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Rashid needs $2,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Riyadh.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,850
• First month of rent as a buffer: $590
• Late fees and court costs: $110
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Rashid. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted.
stay strong. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
You're not alone, Rashid. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope September is when things finally get easier
Good luck, Rashid. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
thinking of you and your family, Rashid. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
