After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
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 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $530
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Phượng. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Lucknow
stay strong, Phượng. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Nagpur.
