When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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 three school-aged 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $500 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Rent arrears (5 months): $450
• Utilities in arrears: $20
Glad we found this place.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Surakarta.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Haris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Best of luck, Haris. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Toulouse this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Haris. Shared this with my family
