[QUOTE="AHF, post: 510125, member: 11180"] Help me out here, folks. I got Peter Pan out of the house: good. He took a room in a house that looked pretty unsavory to me, but he was living there and not me, so I kept mum: good. I'm paying the rent through next month, then weaning him off my support: good. The problem is that it emerges that the guy who lives there and collects the rent (he doesn't own the place, and I doubt it's even a legal rental) is a really suspect character. He's been arrested several times for disorderly conduct, DUI, weapons in the car, resisting arrest. According to Peter Pan, he hits his girlfriend who also lives in the house. There are three dogs, all being mistreated. Whatever Peter Pan's issues are--and he is nasty and ungrateful to me, a complete mess when it comes to getting his life together, narcissistic personality, gambling issues, etc.--he has suffered in the past from having a violent father and brother in the home. He does have trauma from that. So ... I have suggested that he find another place to live. I have said I'm willing to lose the security deposit if he needs to get out soon, and I will pay March rent elsewhere if he wants to relocate. But I have not opened my door to him, nor have I refused to pay rent to this jerk who's collecting. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
