When the restaurant closed in March, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850. 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,850 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,950 • First month of rent as a buffer: $710 • Utilities in arrears: $190 I hope life is good to you.
