Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 $550 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $380 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Charmaine

                    Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
