After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $550 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Rent arrears (3 months): $370
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
With deep gratitude,
Anjali

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from London.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
