After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,500 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,850 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $440 I hope life is good to you.

    Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
