When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter 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 November, 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 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $30

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Priya.
Sure. The biggest one is first month of rent as a buffer, $90. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Depok this morning.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
