After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 $1,300 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $65 • First month of rent as a buffer: $210 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,025 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mateus

  • Sending love, Mateus. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

    • Hope things get better soon, Mateus. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!

      • Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Mateus. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
