Tareq received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Tareq short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment 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 February, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $390
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 3 people at work
Stay strong, Tareq. Shared this with my family. God bless
Wishing you peace, Tareq. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
is there anything that isn't money that would help Tareq?
Thank you. If you're in Bhopal I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Sending strength, Tareq. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Toronto this morning. Thinking of Bhopal.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Bhopal!
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Thinking of you, Tareq. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Lowell this morning.
Thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
