When my hours were cut in half in October, Okta fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave.
There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Okta 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.
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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $310
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $180
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Okta.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (3 months) comes first ($310) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
thanks for sharing this, Sinta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Cox's Bazar.
So sorry you're going through this, Sinta. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Sinta. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Rome
best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up. Greetings from Warangal.
