Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jéssica's family in Santos
After the loss of a second income, Jéssica is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇧🇷 Santos, São Paulo, Brazil988 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, Jéssica fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $950.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Jéssica has started working night deliveries, and is 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• Rent arrears (3 months): $850
• Late fees and court costs: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.

rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Thessaloniki this morning. All the best.
Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Santos.
Wishing you peace, André. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Stay strong, André. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone, André. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Taguig.
