When the construction firm closed in February, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,600.
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 a teenager still in school 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $180
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,950
• First month of rent as a buffer: $470
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Bandung.
keep going. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Quezon City.
