When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
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 two young 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 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,100
• Late fees and court costs: $230
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• First month of rent as a buffer: $380
Glad we found this place.

wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Take care, Valentina. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending strength, Valentina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
