After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Paul fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $400. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Paul 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 $400 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 • Rent arrears (3 months): $260 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Funmilayo
