After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit 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 July, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750
• Late fees and court costs: $150
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630

Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Dortmund.
You're not alone, Julia. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dortmund.
Hope things get better soon, Julia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
Hope things get better soon, Julia. Hope this works out for you.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
