When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
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 3 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (5 months): $245
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Winda.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first month of rent as a buffer comes first ($75) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
hope it all works out, Winda. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Jakarta
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Cali
