Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Atsushi's family in Sakai
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Atsushi needs $2,900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Sakai.
🇯🇵 Sakai, Osaka, Japan587 views
When the packaging plant closed in January, Atsushi fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,900.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Atsushi has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,850
• Late fees and court costs: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• First month of rent as a buffer: $745
Glad we found this place.

stay strong, Hayato. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Wudil.

Wishing you peace, Hayato. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sakai
stay strong, Hayato. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Yokohama.
