Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,800.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $320
• Late fees and court costs: $180

hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Albany donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. After 11 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
