Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Theophilus's family in Accra
After a car accident, Theophilus is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana983 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Rent arrears (2 months): $250
• Utilities in arrears: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Theophilus. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
how is Theophilus doing now?
Hope it all works out, Theophilus. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
Stay strong, Theophilus. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you, Theophilus. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this, Theophilus. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Gazipur so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Praying for you, Theophilus. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together
Keep going, Theophilus. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Accra.
