After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750
• Late fees and court costs: $290
• Utilities in arrears: $130
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630

Wanted to say thank you properly. 1% funded and I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.
