Keep a roof over Wilma's head in Malmö

After a car accident, Wilma is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,200. 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 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 $2,200 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,450 • Utilities in arrears: $230 • First month of rent as a buffer: $520 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Wilma

  1. Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($130). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($670 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wilma

    • Wilma ÖbergOwnerAnswerVerified organization

      Rent arrears (3 months) is $1,450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

  • Jocelyn N. Phillips

    a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Skåne. I'll ask around and let you know.

    • Laiba Afshan Khan

      Sending strength, Wilma. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.

      • Khadija Amaka Gbadamosi

        rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Zanele R. Venter

          Wishing you the best, Wilma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. Blessings.

              Hope it all works out, Wilma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
