After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I've 3 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.
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 $2,500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $145
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850
• First month of rent as a buffer: $505
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Mumbai.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Tarkwa.
Wishing you peace, Océane. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Dallas so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Leeds
rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Paris.
