After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450. 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $450 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $260 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 Thanks for reading all this.

      Better days than last week. Thank you all, a fuller update is coming. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Wishing you peace, Ashok. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Los Angeles.

    • Could you add a copy of the eviction notice with private details blacked out?

      • Stay strong, Ashok. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

            Sending strength, Ashok. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

            • Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
