When the restaurant closed in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate 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 April, we must leave.
I've 1 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bekasi
Best of luck, Dua. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 25 people at work. Thinking of Mardan
Sending good thoughts, Dua. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope it all works out, Dua. This could happen to any of us.
Good luck, Dua. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Mardan.
