I had just turned 19 and I was short on rent by 200 dollars thanks to a car repair. Asked my landlord a week prior if I could pay rent a week late. He politely told me if I plan on paying late he will begin the eviction process. I realized then people don’t really give a fuck about you when you’re talking about money.
If any younger people here are ever in this situation the correct answer is always to tell them no they can’t and they should be fucking happy they are even getting a warning that one rent payment is going to be late. A landlord will always fuck you, I have never had one that didn’t, not even the bank.
Huh, I don’t think you can even evict someone legally here if they are just a week late on rent. IIRC it has to be like 2/3 months behind before you can start the process.
Landlords frequently complain about renters having rights.

No, but you can begin it. Eviction ain’t always a quick process.
I highly doubt he could have. But, I was a 19 year old scared kid and an “adult” was threatening me with consequences.
