When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150. 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 toddler and a baby 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. 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 $4,150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $670 • Rent arrears (5 months): $3,100 • Late fees and court costs: $380 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jin-woo

  • thinking of you and your family, Jin-woo. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Tucson this morning. Take care
