Moving to Curitiba in about 2 months

Could you please not post in uppercase as it makes the post harder to read.
It is also considered to be shouting if you do write in uppercase and is frowned upon. Thanks

You should wait until AFTER the World Cup, since you're not going to be able to find anything in Curitiba during the games. People have actually asked long term renters to move out of houses and apartments so that they could take advantage of the astronomical rates they could charge for accommodations during the World Cup. That means there will probably be a lot of rentals coming onto the market all over Brazil following the games.

Even if you can find something it is impossible to predict prices right now since Brazilians are famous for raising prices to whatever they think they will be able to get during events and high season. For example a beer that costs you R$3 at the corner bar is going to cost you R$6-9 on the beach in the summer. A one bedroom in a beach town (not even near the beach) that you might pay R$900 per month to rent will cost you R$100 or more per night during "temporada".

If you want to check out what the prices "normally are" then Cost of Living figures are available on www.numbeo.com they're fairly accurate for Brazil as far as I've seen so far. Just type the name of the city you want information about into the search box.

Yes, and please limit use of upper case (cap locks) here, it will be greately appreciated.
