When the packaging plant closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice 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 August, 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 night deliveries, 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:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Rent arrears (3 months): $450
• Late fees and court costs: $10
I hope life is good to you.

best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Nsukka.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nsukka.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
