Keep a roof over Takeshi's head in Yokohama
A long illness left Takeshi short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇯🇵 Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan4,846 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850
• Late fees and court costs: $195
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $895
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Takeshi!
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Bacoor donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck, Takeshi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Lalitpur.
Hope it all works out, Takeshi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
