Keep a roof over Ratna's head in Jakarta Barat

After a delayed insurance payout, Ratna is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Jakarta Barat
After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. 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 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 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ratna

Updates from Ratna

  1. Update from Jakarta Barat: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $25 so far, I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
