Keep a roof over Lestari's head in Bekasi

After a long illness, Lestari is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate 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 October, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $420 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 • Late fees and court costs: $60 I hope life is good to you.

        • Hesti Putri MaulanaQuestion

          is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lestari.

          • Lestari Yanti KurniawanOwnerAnswer

            Rent arrears (3 months) is $420 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

        • Flávio Heitor Monteiro
