Japanese mum-daughter duo live in rubbish-filled home despite US$2,700 rent income

A mother and daughter in Japan have been living in a rubbish-filled home for years despite earning more than 400,000 yen (US$2,700) a month in rent. After the father of the family died, the pair struggled to live independently and lost direction. In August, the mainland media reported that the mum and daughter duo had featured on the Japanese variety show Can I Come to Your House?. A television crew interviews people who miss the last bus and, in exchange for covering their fare, films inside their homes. The mother and daughter pair allowed a Japanese television crew into their rubbish-strewn home.
