Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Bryan's family in Quezon City
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Bryan needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Quezon City.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bryan
Rent arrears (3 months) is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this, Bryan. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Lille.
Thanks for sharing this, Bryan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Take care
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Leeds
rooting for you. Hope you get there. After 7 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
