After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I've 2 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $320 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • Late fees and court costs: $30 Thanks for reading all this.

              Rent arrears (3 months) is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
