Saraswathi received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a delayed insurance payout, Saraswathi is 5 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, Saraswathi fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Saraswathi has started working night deliveries, and is 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): $390
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Thanks for being kind about this.
