Keep a roof over Yiğit's head in Düsseldorf
After a car accident, Yiğit's 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
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 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 $800 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $420
If you're reading this, thank you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Accra.
Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Dresden
You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Düsseldorf.
This could happen to any of us. Love from San Francisco.
Best of luck, Yiğit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Take care, Yiğit. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
