When my hours were cut in half in October, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I've 4 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 weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $410
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $180
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Joko!
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (5 months), $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted
Stay strong, Joko. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
Sending strength, Joko. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Marrakesh.
