Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Gloria's family in Sydney
The loss of a second income left Gloria short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia830 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,600.
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 two young 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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,300
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $830
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
