Karthik received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Karthik short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the call centre closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Karthik. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Hope you get there. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Makati.
Thanks for sharing this, Karthik. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Johannesburg.
