After a long illness, Eduardo is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 $800 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
• Rent arrears (2 months): $530
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eduardo
Late fees and court costs is $100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Wishing you the best, Eduardo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Wishing you peace, Eduardo. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
