Keep a roof over Sara's head in Marseille

After a divorce, Sara is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the construction firm closed in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250. 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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,250 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,200 • Late fees and court costs: $165 • Utilities in arrears: $155 • First month of rent as a buffer: $730 Thanks for being kind about this. - Sara

          Stay strong. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

          • Ghada Yasmin MostafaQuestion

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

            • Sara YassinOwnerAnswerID verified

              The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $2,200. Fair thing to want to know.

          • Esteban J. Rodríguez

            hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
