After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I've 1 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 $2,300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,600
• First month of rent as a buffer: $500
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bo-ra.
Late fees and court costs is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Busan.
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Jacksonville.
