Gangnam
When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400. 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 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 $1,400 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $170 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,020 I hope life is good to you. - Min-ho

  1. Update from Gangnam: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 38% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($473). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  3. We're at 22% thanks to 6 of you. I made the first payment toward rent arrears. More news soon.
