Kreesan received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Kreesan short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,179 views
When the packaging plant closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday 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 August, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $640
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• Late fees and court costs: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

How is Kreesan doing now?
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kreesan.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $640, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Brampton.
praying for you, Kreesan. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
Hope it all works out, Kreesan. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Kreesan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Pretoria.
