Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $570
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength. Hope you get there. Thinking of Bengaluru.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Rome
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Good luck, Jayanthi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from George.
wishing you peace, Jayanthi. Shared this with my family. God bless.
thinking of you, Jayanthi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
