When the warehouse closed in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 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.
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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Talha. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 36 people at work. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Talha.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (2 months) is the biggest at $320. Good question.

Hang in there, Talha. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!
