Hi, any successful people here was once asked to leave the apartment within 2 months just because you said that you would pay 2 months rent together?

Thing is I'm struggling with money and after getting some payment 3 days ago, I bought a second-hand monitor to increase productivity. And for the last couple of months, I paid the rent a bit late that the date that is put on the rent agreement. I paid her around 20th - 22nd but the date on the agreement was 15th. So, there was just a bit different in date but the payment was correct every time.

Now, I told the landlord that I would pay two month's rent together on the beginning of the 2nd month from today and she asked me to vacate the room after paying the rent after 2 months. Of course, she took 2 months from me to return my refundable security amount of $110.

So, have anyone successful here went through the same situation? I am asking the successful ones because I want to know how did you convinced your mind to stay calm and not fear of the future and actually focus on work rather than getting stress and headache from the situation?

And is it true that before hitting your breakthrough, all hell breaks loose on you? You will have to go through the VERY WORST to finally hit your breakthrough? Kinda like the law of attraction thing?
 
you are stupid for buying a monitor instead of paying rent
 
If you're asking for legal advice, you need to tell us what country you're in. And if you're asking for more general motivational advice, you should probably clarify that before the thread fills up with legal citations.

My laptop screen is filled with scratches. Not able to see things properly. A huge patch. It's a second-hand laptop. So, I made that decision.

I don't think he assumed you were in Canada but was probably just asking because we have laws to help you in certain situations.
Oh, I see thanks for the clarification. But technically it's my fault, right? I mean every month I am paying on 20th - 22nd but the date on the agreement is 15th. And she said she is having problems because of this.

Well, legally I am bound to pay on the date that is on the agreement - 15th of every month. And as per the agreement, I am bound to do that. But is what she said correct?

I am just asking if any successful people of this forum went through this phase of life and how did they pull themselves from getting into stress and headache and kept on focusing on work?

That's exactly correct in Canada you would have a great chance of putting up a fight based on laws. If your elsewhere not sure what the laws would be.

So, in Canada I can fight for such thing even if I fail to pay on the date that is on the agreement?

In my province (Nova Scotia) your landlord cannot submit a request for eviction until you are at least 15 days overdue. You then have 15 more days from the date you receive the notice to pay your rent. Even if you don't pay by this time the landlord still has forms to fill out and in certain situations there needs to be a hearing. I don't know all the laws but it's honestly just a headache for the landlords so usually if you pay late they don't care as long as you pay. Our laws mostly benefit the tenant.

In the United States (again, knowing your country would be really helpful here), you could not legally be evicted under those circumstances.

The exact process varies by state, but an eviction cannot move forward if the payment has already been made before the court date to begin the eviction process. Even if the payment has not been received by that time (typically a week after the eviction notice is filed with the court), there's an extra week during which the rent can be paid, or an appeal can be filed to receive an extension. Once that extension expires, and the rent remains unpaid, the landlord can go to court a third time to receive an eviction warrant, and it is only after the warrant is issued that the eviction can take place.

At the extreme end, a non-paying tenant can extend the eviction by 6-18 months from the original missed payment (some states are more tenant-friendly than others), though going through that process will cripple one's credit score and result in a blacklisting from every rental background check service in the country.

Wow, amazing. And it's just I'm late by a few days. I think it's really unethical to ask me to vacate the flat after 2 months just because I am late by a couple of days on the payment. 15th to 20th - 22nd is not too much I think but yeah COMMON AVERAGE MENTALITY and MINDSET plays a big role here. People like them are surviving their daily lives. Even when I told her that I would give some extra at the end of 2 months, she said NO.

That is why people say US, Canada, UK, Aus, Thailand, Spain are the BEST. I plan to eventually move to those countries and stay long term on extended visas. I don't mind getting an expensive visa every time because at that time my condition will NOT be like this.

Nearly every country requires court involvement to perform a legal eviction. If you would post your country here, we could point you in the right direction on how to keep your home, or you can search for "eviction process in [country]" and get a general overview of what your landlord can and cannot do.

You ever wonder why some people ignore the one question that is repeatedly asked over and over as the main requirement for giving them real specific advice? It totally boggles my mind why this happens.

To the OP, most landlords that I know are more than happy to keep a tenant that pays the right amount at the right time every month. If you have been missing deadlines and have been there a long time they are likely to give you some leeway while you get your shit sorted. However if you have just moved in and you are seen to be prioritising other things and you are missing deadlines as a result it is hard for the landlord to justify keeping you in the property as it shows a lack of responsibility to pay what you owe when you owe it.

Just to clarify I am not trying to chastise you here, I do not know your situation and am not judging you at all. Shit happens to all of us at times and most of us have felt hard times and it sucks.

If it is available to you I would advise going to some form of citizens advice bureau and check what your rights are exactly and if you do not have the right to stick around after the eviction date you will simply need to look for somewhere else to go.

I hope it all ends up positively for you.
 
Are you in Canada?
I'm from India mate.

I was just avoiding because it is a public forum and nothing else mate. Sorry. :(

I'm here in this apartment since the beginning of 2017. So, it's close to 2 years.

Too much headache to go and look for my rights and honestly this is freakin India. Corruption is everywhere and at its peak. And as far as I know there is no advice bureau thing here.

I hope it all ends up positively for you.
Thanks mate!
 
Rent money always comes first.
When I rented I ALWAYS made sure I had money in the account, and ALWAYS made sure my cheques never bounced.

For me it is very important to have peace in my home/apartment. I can't focus on my career or have fun if i know my rent is not paid, or i have to come up with the money.
 
Never, I am not successful yet, but if anybody asks this kind of thing, I will buy the property.
