Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Farhana's family in Gazipur
After a car accident, Farhana is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, 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 $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I've 2 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 night deliveries, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $260
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $70
Thank you so much.
