Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit 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 November, 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:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,050
• Utilities in arrears: $105
• First month of rent as a buffer: $245
With deep gratitude,
Francisco

Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Take care, Francisco. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Take care
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
