What happens when you are late or having problems coming up with a month’s rent when you’re renting? They obviously have my last months but I’m concerned about if they could initiate eviction when I probably just need a month or two to get back on track.

Legitimately worried about where this goes from here. Not a deadbeat, been paying my rent on time for years, just had a recent medical thing thats derailing everything.

What do

    If you’re derailed for this month and the next, what makes you think you can then afford your rent plus 20-30% for the next 4-5 months?

      Possibly MATH with a little bit of BUDGET FORECASTING?! I ain’t no billionaire, but that’s what I’d do, feller. Presumably OP doesn’t have unexpected medical expenses popping up every month, since they have not for the last several years.

        Then why don’t they have a rainy day fund? Likely they’re living paycheck to paycheck.

            Sure, I donno. Somehow as a responsible adult I’ve never had to default on payments for anything. I know it’s a foreign concept for some however.
