Uchenna received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Uchenna short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 103925, Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,450 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 three school-aged 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu.
You're not alone, Uchenna. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
