I'ma level with you, fam: in the past I've been unemployed for long stretches of time (months at a time, I think max was about 5 or 6 in a row without any income or unemployment). It was pretty dire: months behind on bills, credit cards maxed out (still fucked over a decade later), going to bed hungry and all that, so rent wasn't the top priority. A couple of times it's gotten to a point where my landlord had to take me to court, but all it took is talking to them about the situation, and even while they sent me associated paperwork (while giving me heads up that our agreement was unaffected) - it's never gone past that point, so eviction was never ever on the cards (I was close, though).

Eventually I paid it all off and when times got better - I paid ahead of schedule (and sometimes even for an extra month, just because).

Shit happens, but you can almost always work it out with the other side, clear and timely communication helps. Back back rent to lead to evection and what happened today - yeah, that's next level right there.
