Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Isabelle's family in Glasgow

After the loss of a second income, Isabelle is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the call centre closed in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100. 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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800 • Late fees and court costs: $350 • Utilities in arrears: $310 • First month of rent as a buffer: $640 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Isabelle
