After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,800
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $275
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending strength, Ian. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending love, Ian. Shared it with a few friends
best of luck, Ian. Shared it with a few friends.
wishing you peace, Ian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together!
So sorry you're going through this, Ian. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Praying for you, Ian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Manukau but we're thinking of you. Love from Manukau
Sending good thoughts, Ian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne
