When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,300.
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 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 $4,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,050
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• First month of rent as a buffer: $815

Take care, Anand. Shared it with a few friends
Rooting for you, Anand. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update.

Thinking of you and your family, Anand. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
