When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,900.
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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $190
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $970

So sorry you're going through this, Nicholas. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Nicholas. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Sending strength, Nicholas. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
