Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Madhavan's family in Rohini
After a delayed insurance payout, Madhavan is 5 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
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 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $550
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
Every share and every dollar helps.

Take care, Madhavan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon!
Keep going, Madhavan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
best of luck. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Rohini.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Thessaloniki but we're thinking of you
hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
