After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Gabriele fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,000.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Gabriele has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $3,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,100
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• First month of rent as a buffer: $785
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

We're at 4% thanks to 5 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Catania
