After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150. 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 have two young 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 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. 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 $4,150 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,650 • Late fees and court costs: $330 • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $975 With deep gratitude, Ludwig

    What exactly is the $4,150 for?

    • Ludwig BeckerOwnerAnswerVerified organization

      Rent arrears (3 months) is $2,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.

                        Wishing you the best, Ludwig. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
