After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750. 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've 2 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 $3,750 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $250 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,650 • First month of rent as a buffer: $850 Thank you for reading my story.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Dylan. Shared it with a few friends. After 14 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless!
