Saint-Denis
When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,050. 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've 1 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,050 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,700 • Utilities in arrears: $105 • Late fees and court costs: $245 Thanks for being kind about this. - Mathilde

  2. We're at 20% thanks to 14 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

  3. Quick update: $438 raised so far (14%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mathilde.

    • Mathilde Corinne FabreOwnerAnswerID verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (3 months) comes first ($2,700) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Erica F. Ramos

    Sending love, Mathilde. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

      Sending love, Mathilde. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

        thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

          Rooting for you, Mathilde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Saint-Denis

            Sending strength, Mathilde. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless!
