When the restaurant closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $760
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
Thank you so much.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Noida but we're thinking of you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adrián!
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $760, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Sending love, Adrián. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Love from Kawasaki.
You're not alone, Adrián. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Jabalpur this morning. All the best.
praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Iztapalapa
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Stay strong, Adrián. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Milan.
You're not alone, Adrián. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kasarani this morning.
