<prompt> Human: Hey guys, Im kind of in dire straits right now. I tried looking all over reddit to see if there was anyone else who had this problem, but no dice. Im in a BIG pickle. Im currently living in a 1 bedroom apartment, and sharing it with my boyfriend, who is currently overseas for a business thing. The problem is that I cant afford rent this month. I know, its like 10 days past the rent due date, but I theres nothing I can do. My hours got cut at work, and as soon as that happened, my cat got very sick and I had to pay his veterenarian bills all by myself. So Im broke. My rent is normally around the 700 dollar range, and... I only have 400. I live a very modest lifestyle. I dont drink, I dont smoke, I dont go out to eat. I buy very limited groceries each week, but I feel like theres nothing I can do! I got a pay or evict notice yesterday, and Im scared shitless. I have no friends or family members to beg for money from, and my credit is so bad, I cant apply for a loan or credit cards. So basically, I have until tomorrow to pay rent. Which I dont have. Im FREAKING out right now. Im not a bad tenant, I just really have fallen on bad times its like when one thing happens, a million things happen, isnt that the truth?. Ive been applying everywhere for a second job, but theres no way Ill be able to work and make extra income in time to pay rent. Has anyone ever been in this position before? My boyfriend is about 8 timezones away, making this impossible to talk to him about it, and Im afraid that hell think Im irresponsible. : Ive tried to save money in the past in case something like this happens, but its like whenever I get a footing on my debt, something like my car breaking down, or my cat cutting his paws open on broken glass amounting in a vet bill of 300 dollars happens. HELP. I really cant lose this apartment, please help me. :  <response>: Your best options are: talking to your boyfriend and asking for money or going to relatives for money, or going to the landlordmanagement company and trying to negotiate.
