I caanot pay my rent this month. I have had a tough time the last couple months, but I found organizations that were able to help. My lalndlord will not except late rent this month, I have paid on time for two years because I always worked, however I got laid off and am having a very hard time. I have two interviews today, however even if I get the job, or jobs I will not have money in time. I have children and I am very scared, any suggestions?

Hi, kymtrow69!

You write that you found organizations that could help. Are they not able to help you again?

Around where I live, we have a community action agency that's called Project Now. They help people in situations like your in. Below, is the link to them.

Project NOW (http://www.projectnow.org/)

If you contact them, they might be able to put you in touch with a similar type of agency around where you live.

Thanks!

If he doesn't want the rent late, then I guess you don't pay it, huh? Silly landlord... apparently doesn't want his money very badly.

My suggestion would first be to check your lease and see what it actually says about late payments. Also check landlord/tenant laws. I don't know where you are, but we have laws about the process a landlord must go through in order to kick you out, and this would not be something he could do immediately.

Granted, you owe the rent and you must pay it. After two years of paying on time, and given you're looking, seems the landlord could try to be a little more understanding though.

We do have a law area where you could post this (and include your rough location).
