Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Luana's family in Brasília
After a divorce, Luana is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇧🇷 Distrito Federal, Brazil385 views
When the call centre closed in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
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 two young children 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $570
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $265

Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Brasília.
Sending love, Luana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
