Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Teun's family in The Hague

A car accident left Teun short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

The Hague
When my hours were cut in half in October, Teun fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,350. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Teun has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $2,350 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,550 • Late fees and court costs: $110 • Utilities in arrears: $160 • First month of rent as a buffer: $530 I hope life is good to you. - Nina
