Friend is 2 months behind on rent, options?
My friend is 2 months behind on rent and struggling to find a job. We thought her landlord was being nice and patient, but that person turned out to just be the property manager, and now the actual landlord is breathing down her neck
Last time she was struggling with rent, a friend advised that the eviction process takes around a year and is automatically cancelled when the tenant starts paying rent again. I'm not sure how accurate this ever was, or if it's still true. If this is the case, should she just ignore the warnings until she gets a job? If not, what are her options here?
We briefly looked into loans, but her credit score isn't great, and she doesn't want debt piling up while she looks for work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Edit for clarification: She does not have family to move in with, and this room is the cheapest she could find (she is already sharing a cramped basement with three other people, in a house with about seven other people). She can't abandon this room, she doesn't have other options
