Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Adriana's family in Madrid

When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,700. 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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,700 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,350 • Utilities in arrears: $180 • Late fees and court costs: $170 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Adriana
