When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $350 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $220 • First month of rent as a buffer: $100 • Utilities in arrears: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
