After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
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 $150 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
• Utilities in arrears: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Aurora so I could bring a meal. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Fasil. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Fasil. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Fresno.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Patna
