Ayesha received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Ayesha short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India559 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $260
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
I hope life is good to you.
