After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,350.
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 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 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 $2,350 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $135
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,950
• Utilities in arrears: $265
I hope life is good to you.

sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Rajkot
You're not alone, Mai. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Madurai.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. Take care.
