Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Vikas's family in Mysuru
After a long illness, Vikas is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India993 views
Following a long illness in the family, Vikas fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $700.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Vikas has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Thank you for reading my story.
