After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I've 4 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
• Rent arrears (3 months): $220
• Late fees and court costs: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
