When the construction firm closed in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 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 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.
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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Rizky
Small update. $387 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 47% now ($258). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Rizky. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
Stay strong, Rizky. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Rizky. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
