Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Ida's family in Regensburg
After a car accident, Ida is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the textile factory closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,750
• First month of rent as a buffer: $730
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together.
Stay strong, Ida. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Medan donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Good luck, Ida. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
