After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Smit fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $200. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Smit has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $200 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 • Late fees and court costs: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
