When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 night deliveries, 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 $750 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• First month of rent as a buffer: $440
• Utilities in arrears: $200
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Tatsuya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tatsuya.
It's all in the list in the story. late fees and court costs is the big one at $110, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Tatsuya. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 3 people at work. Take care
Hope it all works out, Tatsuya. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
take care, Tatsuya. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Good luck, Tatsuya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Tatsuya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Kobe.
