After a sudden layoff at the hotel, 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 $3,150. 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,150 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $290 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,400 • First month of rent as a buffer: $460 With deep gratitude, Owen

        Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning.

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Owen!

              take care, Owen. This could happen to any of us. All the best

              • Thinking of you, Owen. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Leeds.
