If you are behind in your rent and cannot afford to catch up, you need to speak with your landlord as to some means to allow you to stay in the unit if at all possible for a short period of time during the winter.
Unfortunately, the landlord most likely will not be willing to extend too much of a grace period to you in that he or she has bills to pay as well. From what you have written, unless you are able to come up with monies to cover your rent, there is a good chance that you will be evicted by your landlord.
