[QUOTE="Lil, post: 683424, member: 17309"] The real problem is there just isn't anything available to rent. I've checked the newspaper and Craig's List myself. If there was, he'd still have a problem in that they have no jobs and no money for rent or deposits. I assume he'll get back his deposit - what little he paid of it, maybe $100 or $150 - but that won't do anything. He said his landlord is trying to find a place that will not charge 1st months rent...but even then...no deposit. And there's the electric...he has a bad electric bill, so what's he to do about that? And yes, he quit or got fired and either way it's his fault. And the electric / credit problem is all his fault. And having no money left over from his last paycheck (which he should have been saving for his April rent) is all his fault. But dammit - if he hadn't had this fire he'd at least have had a roof over his head and a landlord who was willing to work with him and he said he had a few job possibilities, but those fell by the wayside. I would have had no problem saying, "Talk to your landlord yourself. Not my problem." or "Sorry you're power is cut off. I warned you I wouldn't help again. You quit your job - your problem." But this is different! Jabber and I are fine...and I know he's not necessarily wrong...I just don't know how to live with myself if I just do nothing at all. [/QUOTE]
