Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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 two young 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $370
• Late fees and court costs: $15
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Asad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Asad?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (2 months), advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Lahore.
Good luck, Asad. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Lahore
