Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Vasanthi's family in Jaipur
A delayed insurance payout left Vasanthi short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Jaipur, Rajasthan, India1,481 views
When my hours were cut in half in October, Vasanthi fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Vasanthi 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.
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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $420
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Glad we found this place.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jaipur.
Thank you. If you're in Jaipur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vasanthi.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $420.
Thinking of you and your family, Harini. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Uppsala.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Jaipur.
Best of luck, Harini. Looking forward to the next update. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
