Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $510
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $285
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Ricardo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
Take care, Ricardo. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.
