Isaac received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a divorce, Isaac is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $260
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
