Keep a roof over Reem's head in London
After a cut in working hours, Reem is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom2,663 views
When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $1,200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $850
• Late fees and court costs: $190
With deep gratitude,
Reem
