Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Lovely. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope May is when things finally get easier. All the best.
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Anaheim.
