Help Nicholas keep his home - 3 months behind on rent

After the loss of a second income, Nicholas is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in February, Nicholas fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,950. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Nicholas has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $2,950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350 • Utilities in arrears: $250 • Late fees and court costs: $350 Glad we found this place. - Gabriella

      can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Wollongong

        Thank you. If you're in Wollongong I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
