When the textile factory closed in November, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I've 2 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 night deliveries, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Minh. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
Any update on how things are going in Hồ Chí Minh City?
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hồ Chí Minh City!
Thank you. If you're in Hồ Chí Minh City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
Thanks for sharing this, Minh. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Minh.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (3 months) comes first ($490) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Nice but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City!
Rooting for you, Minh. Hope you get there. Greetings from Embakasi.
take care, Minh. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Sacramento
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
