Get a job. Get a second job. Sell blood plasma. Sell anything you own of value. Borrow from friends or family. Take in a roommate. Move out before you get evicted.

IF you have a plan (not a fantasy, but an actual plan) for when and how you would be able to pay your rent, contact your landlord before you're late, explain the situation, tell him your plan, and ask him to work with you. If you take this route, make absolutely sure you stick to that plan and pay him when you said you would.

The last thing you should be is deceitful. Tell the truth and see if they're willing to work with you. No one is going to advise you do anything illegal so don't ask those questions.

Most landlords will work with you, assuming you’ve been a good tenant and previously paid rent on time. It’s risky to try to replace a good tenant who may just be down on their luck for a couple of months. Talk to your landlord, see if they will accept partial payments while you find a new job

No, you can't appear to give someone money while not giving them money. Unless you want to intentionally write a bad check which is check fraud.

Start packing. Your landlord will quickly catch on that you actually didn't pay rent and eviction will begin.

Financial deceit for your gain and at the expense of another is the legal definition of felony fraud. Maybe don't do that.

Fraud will still get you evicted with the additional possibility of criminal charges.

Start by sitting down and putting on paper the following: Your current income, what you have in the bank, what other monetary assets you have (stocks? crypto?) if any, and your monthly bills including your rent. Note how much debt you have and what it's from. Include info about unpaid rent.

Then share it here so people can give you real, useful advice.
