When the textile factory closed in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,950. 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,950 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $280 • Utilities in arrears: $140 • Rent arrears (4 months): $3,530 Glad we found this place. - Piper

    Keep going, Piper. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Reims this morning.
