Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Jahid's family in Dhaka
After a delayed insurance payout, Jahid is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh755 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $190
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

hang in there, Jahid. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from San Francisco.
hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Love from Faisalabad
hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dhaka.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from San Jose.
Hope it all works out, Jahid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
