After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,750.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,300
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• Late fees and court costs: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Kazuo. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Tokyo.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us!
