After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $650 goes: โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $155 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $55 โ€ข Rent arrears (3 months): $440 Thank you so much. - Collins

    So sorry you're going through this, Collins. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
