Keep a roof over Waweru's head in Kinondoni
After the closure of the factory, Waweru is 5 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 $700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• Rent arrears (5 months): $510
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170

You're not alone, Waweru. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Makati.
take care, Waweru. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Tiruchirappalli so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Nairobi
So sorry you're going through this, Waweru. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
