Rent:<p>In Germany it is pretty hard to kick out a tenant for a single unpaid rent. If you have a proper rental contract, you&#x27;re safe for a few weeks at least. Bonus points for talking to your landlord openly about your situation; s&#x2F;he might be more helpful than you&#x27;d think...<p>Food:<p>You don&#x27;t mention in which city you are in, but you can go to &quot;Tafel&quot;. They are in all major cities and hand out free meals to those in need. Bonus points for not only taking, but for giving back (e.g. by helping or by keeping track how often you use their services and then paying them back when you can).<p>Last but not least: food prices in Germany are ridiculously low. 200 USD can <i>easily</i> feed 2 people for a whole month. If necessary, one can survive on 50USD&#x2F;month.<p>Edit: Since you are a student - have you thought about asking your fellow students for help? 10 people lending you 20 each won&#x27;t hurt them even if it takes you months to pay back the loans. Also, in most universities you find student groups that help fellow students or even programs run by the universities themselves.
