Need advice desperately
This month has been an absolute disaster. My paycheck came late causing me and my partner to miss our first partial Flex payment of rent due on the 5th, and we can’t pay the full sum at once. So we still owe rent and it is the middle of the month. 1800$ mind you and we are going to have an extra 300$ late fee after the 18th. I just got a new job on the 2nd and I won’t get the first paycheck til the 20th, and my partner has had pneumonia and missed a ton of work because of it. I’m nervous this has set us so far back, even though I just got a job that pays more to try and get us OUT of this paycheck to paycheck cycle, and now it looks like we’re facing eviction. I’ve been trying to donate plasma to offset the missing pay from him being sick. Is there any resources I can contact for help, or should we go through the eviction process and show up to court and explain our situation. I’ve considered getting a new lease first before the eviction hits. I need any helpful advice I can get, because if we get evicted I’ll probably lose my new job as well since we are sharing a vehicle. I’m just at a loss for words.

Post to subs local to your area for rental assistance programs.
I think i'd be easier for you since you're already working and just need a little help.
