After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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've 2 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kim
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $330. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this, Kim. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Cầu Giấy.
