Several years ago I found myself in a similar situation. My solution was to come to an agreement with the Landlord and move my rent from the 1st to the 7th and pay the difference upfront. This was much more manageable as it also fit in well with my utility bill payments.
That was a smart move on your part. I'm curious if they drafted a whole new contract or was it a handshake type agreement?
Still here, in country...

Well you said to keep you posted. Chinese no help... need 3 months employment history at current employer. Don't have it.

Decided to just tough it out. Didn't really want to fork over hundreds in interest anyway honestly.

I will just move out of the apt on the 19th and go back to the village.

Back to the hammock and 500 Riel rice and pork. Neighbor just put in a sweet new shower room so I won't have to bail.

Only 2 weeks or so... been through worse and I will have my full 1500 on the 7th

Hot as hell though. Need decent apt with air-con after this. maybe it's the best thing. :voilent4: :voilent4:

Yeah right, because it's unheard of that Cambodian schools lie about salaries to keep teachers as long as possible.

OP, message me if that happens or you're tired of 500 Riel rice and I'll Wing you $20 with no need to pay back. I'm serious.

And prepare a plan B because there's so many stories of schools saying "we will pay you later" to keep teachers teaching rather than abruptly bailing.

They probably want you to finish teaching the term with or without salary. Summer holidays are just around the corner.
