When the construction firm closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 $750 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $55 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $560. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

  • hope it all works out, Praveen. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Nagpur.

    • Hope things get better soon, Praveen. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Fresno

      • Thinking of you and your family, Praveen. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
