I wasn't on a lease. My landlords daughter moved back home and announced that she had Ovarian cancer. So now I gotta go. I had another apartment lined up and was very excited for it as it was a 10 minute walk to the beach. And very cheap. My boss at the time had lined it up by chance. The new landlord also didn't want to sign a lease as the place was on her residence and she had trouble in the past evicting a tenant. There was a builder remodeling the place I was going to be moving into. I guess he was currently living with said beach landlord while he did the labor. Apparently going through a divorce. They had worked out a deal that he could live with her until the work was done. I didn't know all this at first. I'm assuming what happened is that guy had nowhere to go and considering she trusted him enough to live in her house she gave him "my" apartment as it was the easiest solution to her problems. I'm not naive. I had tried giving her money when she came into my workso that I had something invested in the place. My gut told me that something wasn't right, but my managers who had been doing business with her for 10+yrs assured me I was being paranoid and that she was true to her word. I really wanted to believe them. I can be very cynical. I didn't want to rob myself of what could have been an amazing opportunity. I felt like I deserved a break and that maybe this was it.

Thanks but there's nothing to be sorry about. It's just life. What I'm most upset about is that I let my guard down and got kicked in the teeth.

There's no couches to crash on. I'm 30yrs old and have a dog. And I won't give her up. I also live 1300 miles from any true friends. Life is tough and she's been with me for a third of it. I can't give away the closest thing to a family that I have. I think I'm going to turn my car into a mobile home. Hang a sign on the back window that says "will work for shelter".

I don't even know why I'm on this sub. I just saw a comment that struck a chord. A lot of people have very strong opinions about things that they don't know anything about.
