Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Tadeusz's family in Kraków
After a sudden layoff, Tadeusz is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇵🇱 Kraków, Lesser Poland, Poland1,187 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300.
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 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $780
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $410
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
