A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Scarlett needs $1,350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Parramatta.

Following a long illness in the family, Scarlett fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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.
Scarlett has started working weekend shifts, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $195
• First month of rent as a buffer: $850
• Utilities in arrears: $305
Glad we found this place.
