Keep a roof over Alexandre's head in Juazeiro do Norte
After a car accident, Alexandre is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇧🇷 Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil3,175 views
After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
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 a teenager still in school 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
• Rent arrears (3 months): $860
• Utilities in arrears: $30
Thanks for reading all this.
