When the hotel closed in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,650
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Lagos.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tomoko.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (5 months) is the biggest at $1,650. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Tel Aviv so I could bring a meal. All the best
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Brescia.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
