When the restaurant closed in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 $3,500 goes: โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $390 โ€ข Rent arrears (4 months): $2,800 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $310 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Violet?

    • Violet WheelerOwnerAnswer

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about utilities in arrears, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Sending strength, Violet. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mumbai.

      • this could happen to any of us. God bless.

        • Wishing you peace, Violet. Your post was clear and honest.
