Mio received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After the loss of a second income, Mio is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan2,040 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,000 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $810
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Mio. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Jose.
hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal. All the best!
how is Mio doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Mio. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Rooting for you, Mio. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Shinjuku
You're not alone, Mio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck, Mio. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Shinjuku
best of luck. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Springfield but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
