Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rekha's family in Rohini

When the textile factory closed in July, Rekha fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Rekha has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $410 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Kavita
