Sylvie received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a car accident, Sylvie is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,950.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,950 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $135
• First month of rent as a buffer: $720
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,095
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nice
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sylvie
It's all in the list in the story. utilities in arrears is the big one at $135, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Sylvie. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Iloilo City
Stay strong, Sylvie. Shared it with a few friends.
