After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate 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 September, 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 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon, Dung. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Francisco
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Rotterdam.
