Keep a roof over Arun's head in Bengaluru

After the closure of the factory, Arun is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate 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 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 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $430 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 Thanks for being kind about this. - Arun

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arun.

    • Arun L. SivakumarOwnerAnswer

      Rent arrears (3 months) is $430 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

      Best of luck, Arun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Durban this morning. Thinking of Bengaluru.
