After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 1 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 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 $1,200 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $680
• Utilities in arrears: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Josiah. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Dundee.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Josiah
Sure. The biggest one is late fees and court costs, $240. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Rooting for you, Josiah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best
