After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 $1,450 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $280 • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,100 • Late fees and court costs: $70 Glad we found this place.

  • sending love, Emilia. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Good luck, Emilia. Shared it with a few friends.

      • Good luck, Emilia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Tlaquepaque.
