Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Leo's family in Manchester
After a sudden layoff, Leo is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650.
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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
I hope life is good to you.
