Victor received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Victor short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria766 views
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 teenager still in school 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $220
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Ikeja.
Wishing you peace, Victor. Looking forward to the next update.
You're not alone, Victor. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Pune.
