When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $5,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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.
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 $5,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,900
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $105
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,075
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Tammy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Rohini.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
