When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $260
• Utilities in arrears: $300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,673 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Na
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (3 months) comes first ($2,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there, Na. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. Love from Brescia.
how is Na doing now?
You're not alone, Na. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kathmandu.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Nagpur.
Wishing you peace, Na. Shared it with a few friends.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Na. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
