Around 2022 I was unemployed for about 4 months. I didn't think about it at the time, but it seems I could havel claimed on my employment Insurance. Does anyone know if this is backdated at all?

Hello,

I saw a rat walking around in the entrance of my apartment building this morning. Should I report this to the city office? I'm concerned about diseases, etc. There're restaurants, bars, and izakayas in and around my apartment, but it's the first time I've seen a rat in my apartment building.

I understand. Thank you for your reply.
