Keep a roof over Jennifer's head in Wollongong
After the closure of the factory, Jennifer is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇦🇺 Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia1,796 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,400
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
Thank you so much.

I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Wollongong
Take care, Jennifer. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Townsville
Shared this with my family. Love from Tarkwa.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Jennifer. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Wollongong
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Wollongong.
wishing you the best, Jennifer. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
good luck, Jennifer. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
