A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Suresh needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Thane.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
