Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I've 1 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $4,250 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,550 • Late fees and court costs: $330 • Utilities in arrears: $370 Glad we found this place. - Landon
