Shun received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A delayed insurance payout left Shun short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500.
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 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 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.
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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,450
• First month of rent as a buffer: $790
• Late fees and court costs: $260
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Tokyo.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shun?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (4 months), advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
thanks for sharing this, Shun. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shun.
Rent arrears (4 months) is $2,450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Tokyo.
Rooting for you, Shun. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Philadelphia this morning. God bless.
