<prompt> Human: Hi all. Ive recently moved into a new property, and the rent has come sooner than I was expecting and is now in arrears and as it stands im at a loss trying to work out how to scrape enough by to pay it, my mum is the garuntour and as shes just broke up with my step-dad I dont want to put that kind of pressure on her again this is why moving back home isnt an option, shes currently living with my 2 brothers in a 2-bed, and I wouldnt want to put her under more stress tham she currently isThe current sum is currently around 600ish, we pay for 2 months at a time and our landlord wont budge on that. When we signed for the house I was working, and could afford it, but I recently lost my job and its all got tits up. Ive tried going to payday loan companies and just been repeatedly declined. As my current account is a student account, I also dont think santander would touch me with a loan. I dropped out of university to work full time around januaryish, it didnt pay too great so im strapped for cash. I was doing photography, which I thought was great but as time went on I just started to hate everything to with it If anyone would have any advice or anything in this situation itd be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks so much x  <response>: Brutal honesty, you have three choices: Ring the landlord, explain your situation, ask if there is any assistance he could provide while you work things out; perhaps offer to help him with things needed for his properties while youre looking for work. Make money, fast. While I appreciate you may be looking for the perfect job, desperate times call for desperate measures. Even working in a call center will pay your rent and food for the next two months. Ask your step dad, or your mum to bridge the gap. I understand you dont want to burden them but if you dont tell her shes the guarantor so shell be paying it anyway if you cant. You might even have to pay fines or penalties on top of the usual rent.No matter what, dont ignore the situation youre in, focus on what your plan is and act fast, every day you spend ignoring it is one closer to deeper trouble.
