Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,600. 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,600 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $180 • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,850 • First month of rent as a buffer: $570 I hope life is good to you.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gonzalo.

    • Gonzalo RamírezOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. late fees and court costs comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

  • Nadia Wafa Darwish

    Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

    • Carolina M. Núñez

      thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
