Sônia received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Sônia short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Brazil913 views
When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $95
• Utilities in arrears: $80
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,075
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sônia
Late fees and court costs is $95 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best, Sônia. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
You're not alone, Sônia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
best of luck, Sônia. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Kilkenny this morning
Rooting for you, Sônia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Praying for you, Sônia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
