Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Deniz's family in Çankaya

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Deniz needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Çankaya.

Çankaya
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. 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 toddler and a baby 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $750 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $85 • Rent arrears (4 months): $630 • Utilities in arrears: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Deniz?

        Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Take care.

        • Thanh Phương Trieu

          Wishing you the best, Deniz. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

                    Take care, Deniz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 21 people at work.
