After a sudden layoff at the bakery, 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 $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $420
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kwesi
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $420. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Kwesi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Coatzacoalcos donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kumasi.
Hope it all works out, Kwesi. Your post was clear and honest.

Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you. All the best.
