Suresh received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A long illness left Suresh short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Rajkot, Gujarat, India401 views
When the textile factory closed in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
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've 3 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.
