Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Leonardo's family in Dundee
After a car accident, Leonardo is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $450
I hope life is good to you.

rooting for you, Leonardo. Looking forward to the next update.
Thinking of you, Leonardo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Córdoba.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Dundee!
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Leeds
Wishing you peace, Leonardo. Your post was clear and honest.
Rooting for you, Leonardo. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Sapporo this morning.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
