Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Theresa's family in Accra
After a car accident, Theresa is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana1,678 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 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 $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $460
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
With deep gratitude,
Theresa

Sending love, Theresa. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Zanzibar City
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours
