Almost there then....

Vent/Rant

Inc rant.

The last 6 months have been a real pain, a couple jobs that were more money but horrible coworkers. In the end I left both positions. Early January, I interview and accept a position at the local Med school, job is fantastic, great coworkers, and a very solid salary. I won't be a millionaire anytime soon, but solid middle class, enough for me to comfy.

Here is the problem, since I was on unemployment since mid December, cash was really tight, particularly around rent. When I was hired the estimate was I would start around late January maybe early February. NOPE! HR drug their feet, and I didn't get to start until this week. So I am behind on rent, I went searching for short term rent assistance, nope! You can't find it where I live unless you have an eviction notice. And even then its hard to find. So I tried repeatedly to contact my leasing agent, 6+ calls, email. No response. The on site office is not ever occupied. At this point I have no idea what will happen to my lease, since I can't actually reach anyone to talk to.

Just as I got to a point where I could have everything under control and then this. Just to top it off someone tried to charge my debit card so I had to cancel the card for now.

Check your state's eviction laws and your lease agreement if you have a copy. You may have a grace period to pay your rent.

Also there may be a period of time before the landlord can start eviction whoever that is. Also if you can make good on the rent they usually can't evict you.

can’t be much help other than to suggest you keep a list of every contact attempt very handy so that when they turn things around on you and come looking for money you’ve got both barrels loaded when asking for a short deferment.

So sorry you're dealing with this! You're so close to having everything under control - hang in there!

This post has been flaired as “Vent”. As a reminder to commenting users, “Vent/Rant” posts are here to give our subscribers a safe place to vent their frustrations at an uncaring world to a supportive place of people who “get it”. Vents do not need to be fair. They do not need to be articulate. They do not need to be factual. They just need to be honest.

Unlike most of the content on this subreddit, Vents should not be considered advice threads. In most cases it is not appropriate to try to give the Submitter advice on their issue. In no circumstances is it appropriate to tell them “why they are wrong” or to criticise them, their decisions, values, or anything else. If there are aspects of their situation that they are able to directly address themselves, the submitter can always make a new thread with a different flair asking for help once they are ready to tackle the issue.

Vents are an emotional outlet, not an academic conversation. Appropriate replies in these threads are offering support, sharing similar experiences/grievances, offering condolences, or simply letting the Submitter know that they were heard.

As always, if there are inappropriate comments please downvote them, REPORT them to the mods, and move on without responding to them.

To the Submitter, if you DO want discussion to be focused on resolving your situation, rather than supporting you emotionally, please change the flair of this post, and then report this comment so we can remove it. Thank you. Thank you all for being a part of this great financial advice and emotional support community!
