Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Joseph's family in Nairobi
After the loss of a second income, Joseph is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya787 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
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 three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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 $250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
• Utilities in arrears: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.
