Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ugo's family in Rome

A divorce left Ugo short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200. 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,200 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,300 • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Utilities in arrears: $145 • First month of rent as a buffer: $535 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Los Angeles.

    • Payal F. Srivastava

      Take care, Ugo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care

      • Kendall J. Matthews

        Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Rome
