After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate 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 July, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100
• Utilities in arrears: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mythili!
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (2 months) is the big one at $280, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Rooting for you, Mythili. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Take care, Mythili. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Zaria this morning.
Best of luck, Mythili. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Paris
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mythili?
Thank you. If you're in Indore I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Good luck, Mythili. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Stay strong. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Paris but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Indore.
