After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $2,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,250
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Bilbao!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bilbao.
Thank you. If you're in Bilbao I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thanks for sharing this, Renata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Bilbao
So sorry you're going through this, Renata. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
hang in there, Renata. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Gaya.
praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
