After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $440 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 Thanks for reading all this.

        Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fitri.

            • Fitri Dinda KusumaOwnerAnswer

              It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $440, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
