Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,550.
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've 4 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $540
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,900
• Late fees and court costs: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of San Diego!
Hope things get better soon, Ignacio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Heliopolis.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ignacio
First month of rent as a buffer is $540 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Best of luck, Ignacio. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Good luck, Ignacio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Take care, Ignacio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out, Ignacio. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
