San Cristóbal de las Casas
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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.
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 $400 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• First month of rent as a buffer: $210
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 13 people at work.
