Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Nicholas's family in Aberdeen
After a divorce, Nicholas is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom4,143 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
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 toddler and a baby 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.
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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,400
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• First month of rent as a buffer: $895
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Bakersfield.
