After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,350 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,000 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $65 • First month of rent as a buffer: $240 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Jada

    Keep going, Jada. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Bornova this morning. All the best.

    • Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Montego Bay.

      • Hang in there, Jada. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Montego Bay.
