After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650. 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 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,650 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $3,050 • Late fees and court costs: $300 • Utilities in arrears: $300 Thank you so much.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Declan. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Thika.

    • Take care, Declan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

        You're not alone, Declan. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
