Sayali received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Sayali short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India827 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85

is there anything that isn't money that would help Sayali?
Thank you. If you're in Madurai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Madurai.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
so sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Ibadan so I could bring a meal. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Sayali. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Oakland this morning. All the best
sending love, Sayali. Hope this works out for you. Love from Ekurhuleni
