Keep a roof over Renata's head in Caxias do Sul

Caxias do Sul
After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, Renata fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,000. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Renata has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $1,000 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $730 • Late fees and court costs: $80 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 Thank you so much. - Eliane

      can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Caxias do Sul.

        Thank you. If you're in Caxias do Sul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      wishing you peace, Eliane. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Trang Tuyết TongQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Renata.

        • Eliane CardosoOwnerAnswer

          Rent arrears (2 months) is $730 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

      • Hugo L. Gómez

        Hope it all works out, Eliane. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
