Well to start off with,i don't live in an expensive place.Its a small crappy unit and im too young to have a proper job and my dad has a low paying job.We are about 2 months behind in rent,my landlord had been really nice to us saying he'd give us a couple of months to pay.We've been living very basic and we don't ever buy anything useless.I even say to my dad 'oh,im not hungry' when its dinner time in order to conserve food.I haven't always been this poor,its only ever since my mother abandoned us.Please help i need a lot of advice !
I dont know what to do and neither does my dad.

Have him apply for assistance. Look in the local phone book for your county services.There are food cupboards out there for you to get food. If you live in a city you can also go to the mission for some meals. I would shut off all of the things that you do not need. The Internet, the cable, the cell phone and any other thing that you can live without. I would also look for another job. Working two jobs is hard but it will only be temporary until you two are on your feet. I hope that things get better for the two of you.

This sounds like a very tough situation.
You should contact another family or a good reliable friend.
Maybe you could live with them for a while till your dad gets back on his feet.This is no longer your problem,its out of your hands.
You are not the adult in this situation.All you can do is hope for the best.
And remember that good things come to those who wait.
Don't feel like a homeless person,you are lucky to be in a country with many resources.There a people worse off.

Hope that gives you some insight and advice.
Think positive.

the problem with %. is actual break away lease - in case you may no longer pay the lease then the owner has the remarkable to take the action he has taken. Pay up and issues would be wonderful. If no longer then circulate to courtroom the decide will come to a call how plenty you owe and that i advise you initiate finding for someplace new to stay. the owner has acted badly by using no longer helping with the electrical powered energy undertaking yet this does not excuse you pleasing the duties of your lease. The courtroom date won't drop only given which you progression out - you nevertheless owe the money for that month. protection deposit is yet another concern completely and except there's a difficulty with the place of residing whilst or in case you go away the owner ought to offer you this lower back. If he does not and you do no longer think of he has a valid reason to withhold it then you definitely can attempt and take him to courtroom to get it lower back. i propose you to take pictures of the situation of the place of residing until eventually now you go away.

See if you are entitled to UK housing benefits for rent. If you are not its because your joint income is higher than the cut-off level, and you should write down everything you spend weekly, remove the non essential items and adjust your spending. Your first priority is the rent. When you have looked at that discuss how you are going to catch up with the arrears with your landlord. Second priority is food, then clothes and travel; and then if you use the following, with smoking, drinking and betting at the very end after everything else is paid for.

Get food from a food bank that helps homeless people and churches that help people in need (SDA has it weekly in most places).

Your Dad might qualify for rent relief and food stamps and medical help since his income is low - He should call the county to apply. See if you and he can help the landlord paint, or garden to reduce rent.

Sorry about your Mom. Joy to you.
