Rakesh received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600. 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 a toddler and a baby 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 $600 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $55 • Rent arrears (2 months): $420 • First month of rent as a buffer: $125 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
