Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,700 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850 • Late fees and court costs: $95 • Utilities in arrears: $135 • First month of rent as a buffer: $620 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Robbert

  • good luck, Robbert. Your post was clear and honest. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Caloocan.

      Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Tiruchirappalli but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
