Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Lamia's family in Dhaka
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Lamia needs $200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dhaka.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh247 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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 three school-aged 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Mukono.
