Vadodara
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit 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 September, we must leave. I've 1 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. 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 $550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $45 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Rent arrears (2 months): $465 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Sending good thoughts, Aniket. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

    • Hope things get better soon, Aniket. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best!

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Aniket?
