When the warehouse closed in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $560
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 17 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
you're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Setagaya.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. God bless!
Thinking of you, Mio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Moscow.
Praying for you, Mio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Mio. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
