When the bakery closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
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've 2 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Late fees and court costs: $55
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this. 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. Love from Oakland
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Seongnam.
