After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. 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 three school-aged 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 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 $500 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $125 • Rent arrears (4 months): $325 With deep gratitude, Quỳnh

  • Víctor E. SalazarQuestion

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Quỳnh

    • Quỳnh Anh TranOwnerAnswer

      Utilities in arrears is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

  • Mahnoor Iqra Farooqi
