When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,650 goes: โ€ข Rent arrears (5 months): $2,550 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $370 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $160 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $570 Thanks for reading all this.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 43% now ($1,565). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.

      Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Manchester.

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
