When the construction firm closed in May, 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 $1,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $1,400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $990 • Late fees and court costs: $110 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $250 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Marina

    Rooting for you, Marina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless

    • Macharia Kipchoge Kigozi

      Good luck, Marina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care.

      • Eliane Márcia MoreiraQuestion

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marina.

        • Marina Nina ZaitsevOwnerAnswer

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (3 months) comes first ($990) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

          good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Moscow.

          • Rodrigo Rafael Andrade

            Praying for you, Marina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

              Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

                Wishing you the best, Marina. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!

                  A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Moscow. I'll ask around and let you know!
