How much do you need to tide you over? Also, even if you miss one month rent, that should just start the clock ticking on an eviction proceeding, which often take months. Don’t panic.

To be honest I need to make about $2500 to $3000. My wife is trying to sell her car for the cash. It's worth well over $3000 according to Kelley Blue Book, but no who is interested can come even close.

In Oklahoma, you get 30 days on an eviction notice. That would mean I would be homeless starting on October 8th. I could rent a new place on October 26th, but I don't think I would survive the interim.

Have you contacted your landlord? This is just a matter of weeks.

Is the landlord hostile to you? Is there any reason he’d go right to an eviction proceeding after failure to pay September 1st?

Can you make a good faith payment on the 1st - not all you owe but some? Maybe that will make the landlord happy and you can reach an agreement on the September-October rent.

This really shouldn’t be terribly controversial, especially if you’re acting in good faith and have a decent relationship with the landlord.

Are you saying your rent is $3000?

Take your car to Carmax to sell. Carmax has been quite fair - right at Bluebook prices, at least in my experience.
