When the warehouse closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $250
• Utilities in arrears: $10
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
I hope life is good to you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dar es Salaam.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (3 months), advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together
