London

When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,650 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,350 • Late fees and court costs: $150 • Utilities in arrears: $330 • First month of rent as a buffer: $820 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Akash

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($268). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.
Quick update: $193 raised so far (7%). I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
