Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Courtney's family in Leeds
After the closure of the factory, Courtney is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom3,100 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,750
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $155
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,015
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
