After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 1 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850
• Late fees and court costs: $260
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,070
With deep gratitude,
Zoe

Best of luck, Zoe. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
wishing you peace, Zoe. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Málaga so I could bring a meal
keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Red Deer this morning.
you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Zoe. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
