Keep a roof over Inès's head in Mississauga

After the closure of the factory, Inès is 5 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the warehouse closed in July, 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 $3,000. 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 $3,000 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $260 • First month of rent as a buffer: $840 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Hope it all works out, Inès. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Jakarta Selatan.

      you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Jannat Popy Paul

        rooting for you, Inès. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

        • Jyoti B. Garg

          Best of luck, Inès. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
