When the packaging plant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $450 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Rent arrears (3 months): $370
• Utilities in arrears: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shoaib.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. late fees and court costs comes first ($40) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
good luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Rochester
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
take care. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Gujranwala
