When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday 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 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 $2,700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,900
• First month of rent as a buffer: $540

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Taguig but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Stay strong, Stéphane. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Moscow.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
thanks for sharing this, Stéphane. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hope it all works out, Stéphane. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
