After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,350. 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 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $4,350 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,950 • Late fees and court costs: $360 • Utilities in arrears: $260 • First month of rent as a buffer: $780 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
