Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Natalia's family in Moscow

A termination letter arrived last week. Natalia needs $1,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Moscow.

When the hotel closed in May, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,200 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $850 • Late fees and court costs: $70 • Utilities in arrears: $80 • First month of rent as a buffer: $200 Thanks for being kind about this. - Natalia

    You're not alone, Natalia. Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Campinas.

      Thinking of you, Natalia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from London.

      • Yong-jun Joon-woo Park

        Keep going, Natalia. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          Hope it all works out, Natalia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you. Take care.
