Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Pooja's family in Dwarka
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Pooja needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dwarka.

When the textile factory closed in January, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $340
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pooja.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (5 months) comes first ($340) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Wishing you the best, Pooja. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Pooja. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Akron.
wishing you peace, Pooja. Looking forward to the next update.
This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Gujranwala
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Dwarka.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Winnipeg this morning.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Dwarka
Wishing you the best, Pooja. Hope you get there. Love from Braunschweig.
Sending strength, Pooja. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Shared this with my family. Love from Belo Horizonte!
