After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Balaji.
Thinking of you, Balaji. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Balaji?
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings!
Hope it all works out, Balaji. Looking forward to the next update. I hope March is when things finally get easier!
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
