Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Viral's family in Udaipur

A car accident left Viral short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $380 • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 • Late fees and court costs: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Xalapa.

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viral.

            • Viral B. BhideOwnerAnswer

              Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $380. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
