When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 $3,300 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,250
• Utilities in arrears: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Victoria
Thank you all. We're at 39% now ($1,284). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Victoria
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. first month of rent as a buffer is the biggest at $890. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending good thoughts, Victoria. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Blessings.
You're not alone, Victoria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Thủ Đức
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Mississauga this morning. Greetings from Mississauga.
