When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 4 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $510
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $245
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Serkan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
hang in there. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
stay strong, Serkan. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
is there anything that isn't money that would help Serkan?
Thanks for sharing this, Serkan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Istanbul
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Istanbul.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Laval.
