Hendrik received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

After a cut in working hours, Hendrik is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $2,450 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,300 • Late fees and court costs: $250 • Utilities in arrears: $220 • First month of rent as a buffer: $680 Every share and every dollar helps.

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

        sending strength, Hendrik. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          Good luck, Hendrik. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
