Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,800 goes: โ€ข Rent arrears (5 months): $1,700 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $210 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $150 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $740 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Sending strength, Adrian. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.

      • best of luck, Adrian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours.

        • hang in there, Adrian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.

          • Hope things get better soon, Adrian. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
