With a history of defaults, mother and daughter start to ‘live’ in McDonald’s in Leblon | Rio de Janeiro

Rio – With a history of defaults, including eviction actions, two women from Rio Grande do Sul are “living” in a McDonald’s chain on the corner of Carlos Góis and Ataulfo ​​de Paiva streets, in Leblon, South Zone of the city, the few meters from the sea. The neighborhood has one of the most expensive square meters in the country. The case was revealed by Rádio CBN and confirmed by DAY.

The women – mother and daughter – are Susane Paula Muratoni Geremia, 64, and Bruna Muratori Geremia, 31. They travel with five large suitcases, where they store clothes and everything that belongs to them, and are seen daily in the cafeteria. Residents claim that the duo has been in this situation since Carnival, almost three months ago. Bruna says that the period is much shorter and is surprised by the repercussion of the case.

McDonald’s opens at 10am and closes at 5am. During this period, they stay at a table next to the door the entire time and eat their own snacks from the food chain. When the unit closes, between 5am and 10am, Susane and Bruna sleep on the sidewalk. They wait for the doors to open to return to their usual table.

It is noteworthy that they have cell phones, always wear clean clothes, carry suitcases and backpacks in good condition and have money to pay for what they consume in the store and other businesses in the region.

In an interview, mother and daughter explained that they have lived in Rio de Janeiro for eight years. The oldest clarified that she is looking for a rental in Leblon. She stated that she is visiting apartments in the region and choosing a new home. Until then, she prefers not to spend money and waits for the new house to appear.

After talking for a few minutes with Susane, a military police officer said that the corporation’s hands are tied, since women do not accept help from residents or the Public Authorities:

Bruna and Suzane have already been evicted for not paying rent. In Porto Alegre, there were at least two cases of this type. In 2017, for example, they were convicted by the state Court of Justice for defaulting for four months, between August and November. The debt totaled almost R$10 thousand.

In Rio de Janeiro, the first records are from 2019. There are at least three debts in both their names. In one of them, the Court condemned both and ordered their eviction, for accumulating a deficit of R$ 13,252.36. In another, the judge’s assessment was that it was a case of hyposufficiency, that is, they did not have the financial conditions to pay the debts.
