Keep a roof over Harsh's head in Thiruvananthapuram
After a long illness, Harsh is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇮🇳 Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India935 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 teenager still in school 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $440
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thiruvananthapuram.
Thank you. If you're in Thiruvananthapuram I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I hope April is when things finally get easier. God bless
sending love, Harsh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
