After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment 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 February, 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 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 (4 months): $290
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $180
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hải!
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (4 months), $290. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
hope it all works out. 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
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Rennes but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
