When the restaurant closed in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave. I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,250 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,050 • Late fees and court costs: $115 • Utilities in arrears: $85 Thank you so much.

        • Uthai Kanokwan BunnagQuestion

          Is rent arrears (2 months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?

          • Gabriela SantanaOwnerAnswer

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (2 months) comes first ($1,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
