When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you the best, Dennis. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Regina.
keep going. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Kampala
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Good luck, Dennis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. Take care.
