What happens if I can't pay my rent for 3 months?

Question

I just got laid off my job and if I don't find another job soon I won't be able to make October and Novembers rent this year.

Due to my job loss I can't get a loan and my parents are unable to help me.

Will I be kicked out right away if I miss a months payment?

Answer 1

Depending on the laws in your state, you shouldn't be kicked out right away.

Contact your landlord and let them know that you're having trouble getting your rent paid and that you're actively searching for another job.

Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 months before you can get evicted.

Answer 2

The landlord can't make you move out right away especially if you still have time on your lease.

They have to give you time to pay on your lease and before they're able to actually evict you from your house/apartment they have to take you to court.

I'm a landlord myself.

Contact your landlord and tell them you're having trouble getting up the rent and I'm sure they'll work with you if you've been great at making on time payments.

I know I'd understand and work with you if I were your landlord. Things happen.
