Late fees for Sheldon to catch up on rent

Posted Feb 3, 2025
Sheldon is currently facing the risk of eviction due to unpaid late fees. He received a notice stating that he has 30 days to settle these fees or he will need to find alternative housing. Fortunately, Sheldon is employed and has been able to pay his rent for February in advance, ensuring that he can cover his rent moving forward. However, he has been accruing late fees because his paychecks have not aligned well with his rent's due date. To help alleviate this issue, the Children's Division has negotiated with his landlord to adjust the rent due date to coincide with his paycheck schedule. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, they were unable to dismiss the late fees, which is the primary reason Sheldon is at risk of homelessness. Sheldon is currently working part-time as he is enrolled in classes, and the late fees accumulated during a period when he was working fewer hours. He is diligently trying to manage his finances to ensure that all of his bills are paid. Once he settles the late fees, he will be completely caught up with his obligations.

Sheldon is 19 years old and lives in MO

Sheldon recently graduated from a foster home into an independent living arrangement. Sheldon is a hard worker, and when he is not working, you can find him tinkering with his old pickup that he saved to buy. He takes a lot of pride in his truck and has finally gotten it road ready. Sheldon is very mechanically inclined and plans to do great things when he finishes his schooling in the spring.
