Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Efe's family in Ikeja

After a car accident, Efe is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Ikeja
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 $200. 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 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 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 $200 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $140 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $30 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thanks for sharing this, Efe. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rohini.
