Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Như's family in Hanoi

Hanoi
When the construction firm closed in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 night deliveries, 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $350 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $15 • First month of rent as a buffer: $195 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      sending strength, Như. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up.

      • Jignesh Deshpande

        Hope things get better soon, Như. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

          how is Như doing now?

          • Mahin Shakil Sikder

            Wishing you peace, Như. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            • Natalia Polina Zakharov

              Best of luck, Như. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Hanoi.

              • Beatriz L. Rodríguez

                Hope things get better soon, Như. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

                • Riley W. Weaver

                  Keep going, Như. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning. God bless
