Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Kunle's family in Badagry
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Kunle needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Badagry.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Kunle. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
