Mapo
After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $2,450 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,650 • Late fees and court costs: $175 • Utilities in arrears: $90 • First month of rent as a buffer: $535 Thanks for being kind about this. - Tae-hoon

              Take care, Tae-hoon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
