After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,750. 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,750 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,300 • Late fees and court costs: $125 • Utilities in arrears: $75 • First month of rent as a buffer: $250 Every share and every dollar helps. - Nicolae

    Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Dehiwala so I could bring a meal. Thinking of București.

        Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.

        • Rima Mona Naguib

          Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of București.
