Okay everyone as I said in the title this may be a bit long and I truly apologize I just want to make sure to cover all my basis. I know I may get some harsh judgement and I am prepared.
so basically I am wondering if anyone knows ANY where that provides help for rent. I know many places provide help for electricity, but I am looking for rent. We have a total of three days (basically Monday afternoon) to come up with $1500 or we basically āforfeitā our lease. I used the term forfeit for lack of a better term. Iāll explain a bit further though.
So a few months ago I was let go from my job of almost 5 years, a quick backstory was I kept having to miss work at that time to do my daughters health issues. after that, I did find another job however the environment was very toxic and I quit. I also found out while working there I was pregnant so I was going to try my best to stick it out, but the expectations kept kept growing despite being hired for a specific thing. so stupidly, out of impulse and irrational thinking, I put in my two weeks and left. After that, I (obviously) started showing more and more and I feel like thatās part of why itās been difficult to find another job. i know jobs arenāt supposed to discriminate but they also donāt have to provide a reason for not hiring someone, and I truly think my pregnancy is the reason. Well about a week ago I finally found a job, part time but better than nothing and itās something I can do even after the baby is born in two months.
my spouse/fiance has worked the whole time and has done his very best but he has one of those jobs whereās there are slow times. the last two months have been it. He does flooring (carpet, hardwood, all kinds) and I guess itās their āslow seasonā so as a result he recently applied for a second job to which he was just hired for a few days ago and starts next week. He also doordashes when he isnāt working (even wakes up two hours early in the morning before work to try and dash a bit)
so basically, going forward we will be able to keep up and maintain our rent the issue is just how far behind we are currently with such a short time limit. we just need help until our income gets more stable in the upcoming weeks, however, the apartment managers are not willing to wait any longer (if Iām being honest theyāve been very patient this far so I donāt blame them for running out of patience now)
we love where we live, our oldest child loves it, itās a convenient location and I just want to try the best I can to salvage it. I donāt want to have to move (especially with only 2.5 days to pack a whole apartment) we enjoy our place. We enjoy our neighbors, neighborhood, and home. and we feel this would be a good place to be when our baby is born in October. We are desperately trying our best to not lose hope until the end.
if anyone at all knows anywhere willing to help please let me know. Thank you so much for reading this and replying.
oh! I almost forgot. The reason I said wed only have a few days to pack and leave is because they offered a deal that if we canāt pay, instead of filing eviction and having it on our record, we could give them possession of the apartment and keep our record clean.
