Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Adeline's family in Auckland
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Adeline needs $3,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Auckland.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Adeline fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,300.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Adeline has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,900
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Cooper. Looking forward to the next update. All the best!
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Alcalá de Henares this morning. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Cooper. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Paris.
