Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Okta's family in Jakarta

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

When my hours were cut in half in July, 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 $450. 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $320 • First month of rent as a buffer: $80 • Late fees and court costs: $50 With deep gratitude, Okta
