Keep a roof over Arjun's head in Prayagraj

After a sudden layoff, Arjun is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Prayagraj
When the construction firm closed in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $350 • Late fees and court costs: $55 • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $75 Every share and every dollar helps. - Arjun

      Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
