8 Strategies for Paying Rent When You're Unemployed
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Losing a job can be scary - especially when rent is due. Rent is usually the biggest monthly expense, and not having money in the bank can create a lot of stress. But even if you're out of work, there are still steps you can take to stay on track. One option some people explore is rent loans, but it's important to look at all options available to you, too. From talking to your landlord to finding emergency help, knowing where to turn can make a big difference. Whether you're waiting on unemployment benefits or just need a little extra time to get back on your feet, there are resources and ideas that can help you avoid falling behind. Here are eight strategies you can use to pay rent while you're unemployed: 1. Use your emergency savings If you've built up an emergency fund, now is the time to use it. Emergency savings are meant for tough times like these. Even a few hundred dollars can go a long way toward covering part of your rent. Make sure you keep track of what you're spending so you don't run out of funds too quickly. 2. Apply for unemployment benefits Unemployment benefits can replace some of your income. To qualify for benefits, many states require that you earn a minimum amount within the last 12-24 months, worked consistently for the last 12-24 months and are actively looking for a new job. The process may take a little time, but once approved, the money could help you keep up with your rent. 3. Talk to your landlord Let your landlord know what's going on before you miss a payment. Some landlords would rather work with you than go through the trouble of eviction or finding a new tenant. You may be able to set up a payment plan, delay your due date or avoid late fees for a short time. 4. Get help from family or friends It can feel uncomfortable, but asking for help from loved ones is nothing to be ashamed of. Many people have gone through hard times and may be willing to help if they have the means. You might offer to repay them later or help out in other ways - like babysitting, driving them to appointments or helping around the house. 5. Look into rental assistance programs Some local and state-level government programs and non-profit organizations offer help with rent or other bills to qualifying renters who are in need of assistance. Non-profits like 211 may also offer emergency rental help. 6. Sell items you don't need If you have items you no longer use - like electronics, furniture or clothes - consider selling them. Sites like Facebook Marketplace or eBay can help you advertise items for sale. The money you make might be enough to cover part of your rent or buy you more time to find a job. 7. Use rent loans carefully A rent loan is a type of personal loan that some people use when they need help paying rent. You borrow money and typically pay it back in equal payments each month. Each payment goes toward the amount you borrowed (it's called principal) and the extra cost the lender charges for borrowing (this is called interest). If you go this route, shop around for the best terms and only borrow the amount you truly need. Personal loans for rent can help in some cases, but it's important to make sure you can afford the payments. 8. Budget for your new situation When money is tight, making a new budget is key. Write down all your monthly bills and income, even if it's just from unemployment or small jobs. See where you can cut back - like eating at home, pausing subscriptions or using public transportation. Strategizing can help you make ends meet when unemployed Being unemployed is tough, but there are ways to keep your housing stable while you figure things out. Take things one day at a time and remember - you're not in it alone. Celebrate small wins, like sending in a job application or cutting back on spending. With patience and support, you'll find your way forward. SPONSORED CONTENT CONTACT: Sonakshi Murze Manager [email protected] SOURCE: OneMain Financial press release

Atlas Salt Supports Memorial University Researchers with their Passive Array for Critical Minerals on the Island of Newfoundland
ST. GEORGE'S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Atlas Salt Inc. ("Atlas Salt" or the "Company") (TSXV:SALT)(OTCQB:REMRF) announces that it is actively supporting Memorial University of Newfoundland ("Memorial University") researchers with their Passive Array for Critical Minerals on the Island of Newfoundland ("PACMIN") to help to better understand the geological structures and the plate-tectonic processes that assembled the island hundreds of millions of years ago. PACMIN is a joint initiative between Memorial University, Université du Québec à Montréal, and Yale University, with financial and in-kind support from Natural Resources Canada and select business partners. It has deployed a new network of 22 seismograph stations across Newfoundland to record ground vibrations and use these signals to image the internal structure of the Earth beneath Newfoundland. This information will improve the understanding of the deep tectonic processes that played a role in the island's formation and will help to better determine the location of critical minerals that are needed to facilitate the transition to a greener economy, a goal consistent with Atlas Salt's business objectives. In support of this initiative, PACMIN has installed a seismograph at one of Atlas Salt's facilities in St. George's. The PACMIN project will run through the end of summer 2027. Dr. J. Kim Welford, Principal Investigator for PACMIN and Associate Professor, Department of Earth Sciences, Memorial University, commented, "Enhanced knowledge of the geological structure of Newfoundland could help to provide economic benefits for future generations of Newfoundlanders. We are pleased that corporate citizens of the Island of Newfoundland, particularly those with a direct involvement in the mining community such as Atlas Salt, have offered their assistance with the PACMIN project." Nolan Peterson, CEO of Atlas Salt, added, "We are excited to be supporting Memorial University researchers on this initiative. Atlas Salt has a strong commitment to increasing mining activities and initiatives in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and we believe the knowledge gained through the PACMIN project will be of tremendous benefit in this respect. We look forward to building our relationship with Memorial University, and we anticipate additional collaborations with academia in the future." About Atlas Salt Atlas Salt is developing Canada's next salt mine and is committed to responsible and sustainable mining practices. With a focus on innovation and efficiency, the company is poised to make significant contributions to the North American salt market while upholding its values of environmental stewardship and community engagement.
