After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 $3,300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $350
• First month of rent as a buffer: $930
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,020

thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
hang in there, Matthias. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Kadıköy so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Lviv this morning.
Wishing you peace, Matthias. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up.
praying for you, Matthias. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you.
