Jameson received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Jameson short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada1,091 views
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,800.
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 two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,350
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $860
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jameson?
Thank you. If you're in Ottawa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 34 people at work. Love from Jakarta.
Wishing you the best, Jameson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Stay strong, Jameson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Jameson. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ottawa.
Hang in there, Jameson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Ottawa
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Take care, Jameson. Hope you get there. Love from Sandton
