Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Bisma's family in Faisalabad

After a sudden layoff, Bisma is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the construction firm closed in April, 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 $450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave. I've 4 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $450 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $300 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $75 Thanks for being kind about this. - Bisma

Updates from Bisma

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($411 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $155 raised so far (34%). I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    So sorry you're going through this, Bisma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Greetings from Epe

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bisma.

      • Bisma Kiran AwanOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

        Rent arrears (2 months) is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
