After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $440
• Rent arrears (2 months): $660
• Utilities in arrears: $100
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Mateusz. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mateusz
First month of rent as a buffer is $440 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Mateusz. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. All the best.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Edinburgh but we're thinking of you. Take care.
