Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Piotr's family in Kraków
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Piotr needs $1,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kraków.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Piotr fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Piotr has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $1,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $110
• First month of rent as a buffer: $335
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Piotr?
Thank you. If you're in Kraków I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Keep going, Anna. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Kraków.
Best of luck, Anna. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
