Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 two young 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $410
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125

You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Kediri
take care, Ali. Your post was clear and honest. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Best of luck, Ali. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Bangkok but we're thinking of you
