Jonas received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a long illness, Jonas is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

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 $3,650.
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 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 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,600
• First month of rent as a buffer: $770
• Late fees and court costs: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Jonas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
Rooting for you, Jonas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 24 people at work. All the best
