When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
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've 1 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 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 $300 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $60
I hope life is good to you.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Leeds
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Islamabad.
So sorry you're going through this, Shafiq. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best
Take care, Shafiq. This could happen to any of us. Love from Ottawa.
