Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Nida's family in Islamabad
After a long illness, Nida is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇵🇰 Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan1,442 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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 night deliveries, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $210
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nida.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (5 months), $210. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.

Sending love, Nida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from San Francisco

Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rome.
