Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Orlando's family in Pasig
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Orlando needs $650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Pasig.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines854 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
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 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Guarulhos so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dwarka

Sending good thoughts, Orlando. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Porto Alegre but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Stay strong, Orlando. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
