After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $420
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone, Pankaj. Hope this works out for you.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
