After the loss of a second income, Jayden is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, 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 $3,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $350
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $990
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Jayden
4% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Small update. $200 so far, the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($315). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
