Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Mongkol's family in Chiang Mai
After a car accident, Mongkol is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand893 views
When the hotel closed in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $1,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
• Late fees and court costs: $85
• Rent arrears (2 months): $890
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is first month of rent as a buffer the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
