Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I've 1 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 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 $3,850 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $860
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,730

hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
