Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ifeanyi's family in Abuja

A car accident left Ifeanyi short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, Ifeanyi fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650. 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. Ifeanyi 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. 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): $550 • Late fees and court costs: $15 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $60 Thank you for reading my story. - Chukwuemeka

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ifeanyi!

      • Chukwuemeka Lucky EkwuemeOwnerAnswer

        Rent arrears (3 months) is $550 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

      Looking forward to the next update. After 10 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
