After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,750
• Utilities in arrears: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $800
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Theodore
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (5 months) comes first ($2,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength, Theodore. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Charlotte.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Manchester!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (5 months), advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Kandy.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you.
