Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Josiane's family in Maringá
After a long illness, Josiane is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in November, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $640
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $225
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Josiane.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $640, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Caxias do Sul but we're thinking of you. All the best.
