Help Vipul keep his home - 5 months behind on rent
After a cut in working hours, Vipul is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India1,518 views
When my hours were cut in half in March, Vipul fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Vipul has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Amol
Wanted to say thank you properly. 70% funded and I made the first payment toward rent arrears.
We're at 26% thanks to 5 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Update from Coimbatore: I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
