After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $575
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck, Sebastián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Keep going, Sebastián. Hope you get there. Thinking of Madrid!
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Wollongong.
