Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ronan's family in Kilkenny

A car accident left Ronan short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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. 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 $4,100 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,050 • Late fees and court costs: $320 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $520 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

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

    • Ronan C. ScottOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $3,050, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.

  • William Theophilus Nkrumah

    Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

    • Hailu Daniel Ayele

      Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Los Angeles.

      • Madelyn Richards

        Wishing you peace, Ronan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.

        • Natalie C. Vazquez

          Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too

            A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
