Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Mauricio's family in Cali
A termination letter arrived last week. Mauricio needs $1,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Cali.
🇨🇴 Cali, Valle del Cauca, ColombiaPosted Oct 1, 20261,176 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 1 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 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.
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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $860
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Mauricio. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 21 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
