Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Saanvi's family in Gaya
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Saanvi needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Gaya.

When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice 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 November, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
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 (3 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Saanvi. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Medan this morning. Greetings from Medan.
thanks for sharing this, Saanvi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
