Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Rita's family in Turin

After a divorce, Rita is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Turin
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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. 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 $3,250 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,450 • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Utilities in arrears: $175 • First month of rent as a buffer: $405 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Rita

  1. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($754). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.

  2. Quick update: $390 raised so far (12%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

      Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out

        wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Turin.
