Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Roberto's family in Rome
The closure of the factory left Roberto short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy1,310 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• First month of rent as a buffer: $510
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Roberto. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Palmira.
Sending strength, Roberto. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Rome
