Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mana's family in Kawasaki

After a divorce, Mana is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150 • Late fees and court costs: $230 • Utilities in arrears: $85 • First month of rent as a buffer: $635 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mana
