Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Adam's family in Marseille
A car accident left Adam short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇫🇷 France1,413 views
Following a long illness in the family, Adam fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,300.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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.
Adam has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,800
• Late fees and court costs: $350
• Utilities in arrears: $150
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Adam?
Thank you. If you're in Marseille I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Jakarta!
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adam.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $1,800. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
