Nathan received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The closure of the factory left Nathan short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia3,331 views
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350.
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 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,350
• First month of rent as a buffer: $790
• Late fees and court costs: $210
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Sydney!
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
thinking of you and your family, Nathan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Nathan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Noida.
