After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $15
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lipi.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (5 months) is the big one at $230, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cox's Bazar.
Thank you. If you're in Cox's Bazar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Casablanca.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
sending strength, Lipi. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
