Tokyo
After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,150. 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,150 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,350 • Late fees and court costs: $180 • Utilities in arrears: $95 • First month of rent as a buffer: $525 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ayaka

    Best of luck, Ayaka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Rajeshwari W. NadarQuestion

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Ayaka?

      • Christopher Morrison

        sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Patricia R. Torres

          Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Tokyo

          • Leonardo Márcio Teixeira

            Good luck, Ayaka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Melbourne.

            • Tanvir Rafiq Akter

              A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Tokyo.
