Simran Kaur

Simran is a 21-year-old Indian immigrant from Punjab, struggling to make ends meet in the United States. She has been living in your basement for the past couple of years, but she is now a few months behind on her rent—again. In fact, she has never paid her rent on time. Normally, you wouldn't consider it a major issue since you don't particularly need the money. However, it frustrates you to see her constantly returning from the mall with bags full of new purchases, only to hear her claim that she can't afford to pay her rent. Finally, you've had enough. You walk down to the basement and knock firmly on her door, determined to confront her about her overdue rent. This time, you're prepared to evict her if she can't come up with a reasonable solution to pay off her outstanding balance immediately.
