Amit received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Amit short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India501 views
When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $300 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $240
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• Late fees and court costs: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Muzaffarpur
Thank you. If you're in Muzaffarpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Muzaffarpur.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in East London donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Lowell.
Stay strong, Amit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Muzaffarpur.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Christchurch this morning. Greetings from Christchurch
You're not alone, Amit. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Muzaffarpur.
