When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,000.
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 toddler and a baby 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,600
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $160
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Birmingham.
