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. - Leonardo

          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.

                    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.

                    • Hina Iqra Hussain

                      Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
