Nora received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Nora short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States2,478 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800.
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've 1 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $155
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,400
• Late fees and court costs: $245
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
