Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Waqas's family in Faisalabad

A car accident left Waqas short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Faisalabad
After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter 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 October, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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): $200 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 Thank you so much.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Waqas.

    • Waqas Hussain MalikOwnerAnswer

      Rent arrears (5 months) is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Akira Takeda

    Sending love, Waqas. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
