When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 two young children 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $450 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
• Rent arrears (4 months): $280
• Utilities in arrears: $50

Hope it all works out, Shahid. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Jakarta.
Wishing you peace, Shahid. Shared this with my family. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Kasarani.
