After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,950.
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've 2 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 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 $1,950 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,220
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Ghassan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Keep going, Ghassan. Your post was clear and honest
