When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 $600 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Rent arrears (3 months): $430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ankit.
It's all in the list in the story. utilities in arrears is the big one at $45, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Wishing you peace, Ankit. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Anaheim
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Noida so I could bring a meal
