When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. 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 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 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $45 โ€ข Rent arrears (5 months): $400 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $105 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
