You can also ask for a social services provider to assist in the process.

Now, when you rent, you have to present 2 guarantees. If you don't pay, your house owner may ask the guarantees to pay the debt or they may have their houses auctioned. It doesn't work all of the times, but for most parts it does. But even if there's an eviction, social services locates the families in a temporary place such as a hotel or a very low rent house.

If you're alone, that's a whole different story, you're pretty much on your own, but families with kids are protected in most countries I know
