When the construction firm closed in November, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday 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 March, 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 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $175 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Latha

    • Latha R. NambiarOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (4 months) comes first ($230) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

  • Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Regensburg this morning.

    • you're not alone, Latha. Shared this with my family.

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Latha?

        • You're not alone, Latha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

            Good luck. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.

            • Hope things get better soon, Latha. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

              • Good luck, Latha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

                • Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Bandung

                  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you. Take care

                    • Thanks for sharing this, Latha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.

                      • Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Augusta donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mumbai.

                        • Keep going, Latha. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto

                          • Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

                            • Hang in there, Latha. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
