My roommate Henry and I are facing the real possibility of losing our apartment, and we’re reaching out for help. For the past two months, our other roommate has refused to pay his share of the rent and won’t leave, despite repeated requests. Things took a turn for the worse after he met a new girlfriend last October, and since then, he’s claimed squatters rights and stopped contributing entirely. We’ve now received a 3-day Pay or Quit notice from our apartment office, and the stress has been overwhelming—I haven’t slept well in weeks, and we’re both worried about what comes next.

Henry and I have always been responsible tenants. We keep our home clean, pay our share of the rent on time, and treat each other with respect. Unfortunately, we don’t have family or friends we can turn to for a place to stay if we’re evicted. We’re doing everything we can to resolve this, but the legal fees and back rent have put us in a tough spot. If we can get our other roommate formally evicted, we’ll be able to rent his room to someone more responsible and keep our home.

We’re asking for your support to help us cover the back rent and attorney fees so we can stay in our apartment and move forward. Any help you can give would mean the world to us and help us get back on our feet after this difficult situation.
