Ren received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Ren needs $3,350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Shinjuku.

When the call centre closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350. 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 toddler and a baby 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 $3,350 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $690 • Utilities in arrears: $210 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,450 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ren

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ren?

        I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
