Learning to fly again

I heard on another board that you need a place to stay. The person said what state you're in, and I know someone in the state who's looking for a roommate, but that doesn't help if you're not near them, but anyway if you like you could pm me with details just in case there's a chance it might help.

If you can put together the money for the rent, you can't be forced to leave for at least 30 days, even without an official lease, and the landlord has to initiate it. I too heard about this elsewhere; drop me a line if you need help, although unfortunately I don't have room for anyone myself.

This.

Once you have been getting your mail at a location, they can't force you out with no notice. They actually have to go through eviction proceedings.

I have a friend on the I-664 side of Chesapeake who is looking to rent a room for $500-$700 a month. Upon looking at your situation, I'm not sure that's helpful to you, but here it is just in case.

Having more time to figure it out would definitely help. Are you losing your place due to money, or is it a bad situation in other ways?

If it's money, how much do you need for another month? That would be give a lot more time to sort through your options.

Are you able/willing to provide childcare or housecleaning etc. in exchange for rent? And what kind of work are you looking for?

It's a combination of money and other factors. I may have a long term solution. I will find out more tomorrow. However in the short term I may need help.

I am willing to help out in any way I can. Cleaning, cooking, though that is limited, childcare... anything. As for what kind of work? I've done a little bit of everything from retail to factory work to office work. I'm smart and I learn very quickly.

Good luck. I boosted your signal. I hope it helps.

I heard about you on another board.
Hang in there.

Is the problem how you feel about them, how they feel about you, or is it genuinely and simply financial? Can you renegotiate your agreements with them re: chores? (I guess you may have tried that already.) Housework is not cheap. You have more value than you think, and maybe this needs to be explored more. Unemployment in this economy is not a personal shame.

Your roommates do have to go through legal procedures that will depend on your state's laws (which are probably online). You likely want to protect your stuff in case they stop treating you with dignity and pull something unpleasant, like trying to sell it.

A couple of months is NOTHING for unemployment time--and in some jobs, a couple of years is not unusual. So is it that you are living with people who have jobs and don't understand why you don't--ie, a perception problem as much as a financial problem?

I feel sad that I can't do more for you. I will hold "a home for Chloe" in my prayers. In a pinch, do connect to a spiritual house that may be able to connect you with people and agencies. Care for the suffering is what the people in a good house of prayer does.

FWIW, I'm Episcopalian.

Exactly. They both have jobs and use that fact to push me around a bit, and since I really have no leverage I take it.

Thank you for your kindness. I wish more people saw the world as you do.

I found a safe place to land. Thank you everyone for your concern and kindness.

I hope things are going better for you.
