Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Byaruhanga's family in Kasarani
The closure of the factory left Byaruhanga short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya828 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $430
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
• Late fees and court costs: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.
