After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. 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 a teenager still in school 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $750 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Rent arrears (5 months): $530 • First month of rent as a buffer: $180 I hope life is good to you. - Bakari
