A notice to vacate arrived last week. Qing needs $4,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Austin.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,000.
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 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.
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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $300
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $990
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Qing.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $2,500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
thinking of you, Qing. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 24 people at work. All the best.
