Abigail received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Abigail needs $900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Melbourne.
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia799 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $900 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $155
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $485
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I hope things turn around soon. Love from Angeles
Stay strong, Abigail. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Malmö so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Melbourne
Hang in there, Abigail. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
