After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 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. 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 $3,650 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $560 • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,000 • Utilities in arrears: $90 Thank you so much.

  • Hang in there, Ryan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

      Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Zapopan but we're thinking of you.

      • Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Greetings from Málaga.

        • Rooting for you, Ryan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

          • Wishing you peace, Ryan. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best

            • so sorry you're going through this, Ryan. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
