Elsa received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Elsa short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,820 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $410
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
With deep gratitude,
Elsa

best of luck, Elsa. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elsa.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $410. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best, Elsa. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from London.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan
sending good thoughts, Elsa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
