PrintYes. Pay your rent like you normally do and get a receipt.
If you cannot pay rent, talk to your landlord right away. Tell your landlord why you cannot make rent. Keep any papers you have that show reasons you cannot make rent. For example, if you got a letter or an email about losing your job or getting your hours cut.
Even if you cannot pay rent, your landlord cannot make you move out without going to court.
If your landlord tries to get you to move out:
- Call Legal Aid right away.
- Learn more about illegal evictions and what you can do.
