After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, Yuki fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $850. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Yuki has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $850 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $260 • Utilities in arrears: $170 • First month of rent as a buffer: $420 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Nao

                Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yuki.

                • Nao FujitaOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedID verifiedPhoto verified

                  Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. late fees and court costs comes first ($260) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.

                          Wishing you the best, Nao. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
