When the textile factory closed in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I have two young 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $580
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.

88% there. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($483). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

hope things get better soon, Noel. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Badagry.
So sorry you're going through this, Noel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Alicante.
