Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Nattaya's family in Chiang Mai
After a cut in working hours, Nattaya is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand1,587 views
After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $490
• First month of rent as a buffer: $200
• Late fees and court costs: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
