Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Mohammed's family in Jeddah
A sudden layoff left Mohammed short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,949 views
After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
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 three school-aged 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $150
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $475
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Mohammed. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Fukuoka.

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $2,150. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Osaka.
