When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
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 $1,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,450
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• Late fees and court costs: $260
Thanks for reading all this.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Kawasaki.
Wishing you the best, Naoki. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Chattogram.
rooting for you. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Alicante but we're thinking of you.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Mandaue.
