When the hotel closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
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 $2,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,450
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $170
• First month of rent as a buffer: $470
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
take care, Frank. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thanks for sharing this, Frank. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 10 people at work. All the best
