Mapo
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,400. 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 two young 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 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 $2,400 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,800 • First month of rent as a buffer: $410 • Late fees and court costs: $190 Thanks for reading all this. - Do-hyun

        Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care

          Thanks for sharing this, Do-hyun. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
