<prompt> Human: I have 600 dollars to my name and am jobless, now that roommate has ditched I have to pay 865 for January rent. Also have 300 in bills. I know I need to look for a new job ASAP but whats the likelihood Ill get kicked out of my apartment if I cant pay rent by at least the 15th? What does it take to get evicted? edit: thank you all for the advice!  <response>: As a landlord I would say call your landlord and let himher know the situation. You never know he may be willing to help you out in some way. But I hate expecting the rent check and then getting a call 3 days late that this or that happened. He may be depending on that money for whatever reason.Was the roommate on the lease or did you sub lease the apartment to him? If it is a sublease without the landlords knowledge he may not be happy about it. Only real advice I have is to apply for unemployment benefits if applicable. Monday morning go job hunting.Assuming you just stop paying you have between 30-60 days before you are removed and taken to court.
