Kiprop received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Kiprop needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kinondoni.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, 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 $400.
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 two young children 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 $400 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Rent arrears (4 months): $350
• Utilities in arrears: $30
Thank you so much.

is late fees and court costs the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is late fees and court costs, $20. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hanoi.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Thanks for sharing this, Kiprop. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you the best, Kiprop. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Francisco.
