Zapopan
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300. 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 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 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 $1,300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $910 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $285 Thank you for reading my story.

    Hope things get better soon, Rocío. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Zapopan

        Thank you. If you're in Zapopan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      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 Zapopan

        Keep going, Rocío. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from São Paulo.

        • Esteban D. Delgado

          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 24 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Nicolas Thomas Martinez

            Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
