When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• Rent arrears (3 months): $910
• First month of rent as a buffer: $385
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Any update on how things are going in Ciudad de México?
Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Hang in there, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ciudad de México!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about late fees and court costs, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Fernando. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Love from Manila.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Guadalajara
