Leo received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A termination letter arrived last week. Leo needs $3,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in London.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250. 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 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 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. 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 $3,250 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $620 • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,380 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    hope things get better soon, Leo. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

    • Joyce G. Lynch

      thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
