Following a long illness in the family, 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 $1,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 2 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 $1,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $240
• Rent arrears (3 months): $770
• Late fees and court costs: $140
With deep gratitude,
Irene

Hope things get better soon, Irene. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Good luck, Irene. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
