Okay, since my landlord STILL won't say anything to me (frankly, it's very weird and creepy), until something changes, here's my approach going forward: Even assuming that I'm being given leniency/mercy/grace period for this month, it's safe to assume that I'll still need rent for next month. And one of the biggest criticisms I received before (which is perfectly valid) is that I didn't give enough notice when I made that first announcement.
So I'm going to announce right now that I need to make rent for November. Currently, I'm still at $80 from the October drive. That gives me until November 1st to raise $420 (total of $500), with a stretch goal of $1000 to make up for this month's rent as well (again, assuming my landlord ever says anything about it).
