After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment 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 April, 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 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Late fees and court costs: $30
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pandu!
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $135, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
take care. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Pietermaritzburg
Hang in there, Pandu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Cairo.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Pretoria but we're thinking of you.
