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

After the loss of a second income, Johan is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the construction firm closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750 • Late fees and court costs: $250 • Utilities in arrears: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $710 Thank you for reading my story. - Johan
