After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I've 4 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 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 $4,750 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,950 • Late fees and court costs: $250 • Utilities in arrears: $340 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,210 Glad we found this place.

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Arusha but we're thinking of you

    • Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Kathmandu this morning. All the best

      • How is Todd doing now?

        • Sending love. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

          • What exactly is the $4,750 for?

            • Todd F. JohnsonOwnerAnswer

              Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (4 months) comes first ($2,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

          • shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Anaheim.

              • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Todd?

                • Todd F. JohnsonOwnerAnswer

                  Thank you. If you're in Fresno I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

              • Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

                • Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Fresno.

                    wishing you peace, Todd. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 30 people at work.

                    • Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Düsseldorf!

                        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
