Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Moritz's family in Kassel

Kassel
After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,250 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $200 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,450 • First month of rent as a buffer: $600 Thanks for reading all this.

    how is Moritz doing now?

    • Sadia Sumbal Bhatti

      Keep going, Moritz. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jakarta Selatan.

      • Mubashir Nadeem IsmailQuestion

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

        • Moritz FrankeOwnerAnswer

          It's all in the list in the story. late fees and court costs is the big one at $200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

        Take care, Moritz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best

        • Kendall B. Murray

          Hope things get better soon, Moritz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Tokyo.
