Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Romeo's family in Quezon City
After a delayed insurance payout, Romeo is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines1,296 views
When my hours were cut in half in October, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have two young 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 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $590
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($211 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
