Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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 $1,050 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $90 • Late fees and court costs: $155 • First month of rent as a buffer: $805 Thank you so much. - Shun

Updates from Shun

  1. Update from Setagaya: I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($270). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($220 in total) the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Sending good thoughts, Shun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
