After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350.
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've 3 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.
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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,200
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $115
• First month of rent as a buffer: $865
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Travis. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Travis!
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (4 months) is the big one at $2,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
