When the packaging plant closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500.
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 teenager still in school 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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,550
• Late fees and court costs: $180
• First month of rent as a buffer: $770
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Teresa. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
