Keep a roof over Tobias's head in Augsburg
After the closure of the factory, Tobias is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany5,933 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650.
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 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,700
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• First month of rent as a buffer: $650
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Tobias. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tobias!
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (2 months), $2,700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
