Mega received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Mega short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Barat, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,290 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit 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 September, 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 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:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Rent arrears (3 months): $490
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($103 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Mega
