Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
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 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 $750 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• Rent arrears (5 months): $560
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Gazipur.
Hope things get better soon, Angelo. Hope you get there. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Angelo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 3 people at work.
