When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 3 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 $2,000 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $160
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,650
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chang-min
Sure. The biggest one is late fees and court costs, $160. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Marseille.
Sending strength, Chang-min. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Xalapa.
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
so sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
