When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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. 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 $3,350 goes: โ€ข Rent arrears (3 months): $2,400 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $260 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $195 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $495 Thank you for reading my story.

    best of luck, Sharon. Hope this works out for you. God bless.

    • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

      • Good luck, Sharon. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

        • hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. God bless!

          • Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
