Hey, I'm making a lot of money from my tenants need for shelter but I'm trying to do more. Anyone know where I could get some human sized coin operated food and water dispensers? I'm thinking something like what you see in a hamster cage. I'll install them and ban outside food in the lease. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I am an engineer who has very purposely moved away from residential work with the big developers because that poo poo fucks your soul up and moved towards cultural and infrastructure work "for the common good." The first page is about how lovely section 8 renters are and how it's good to fine your tenants for turning on the heat. You might be one of the good ones but the majority of landlords are trash who see people as an open wallet. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Hey, my friend lost their job due to a panic attack. They gave their landlord a heads up so they would work out how to pay rent while they're job searching and the landlord is just evicting them instead. Anyone got good advice on how to keep them from becoming homeless and peg that leech to the wall? They live in Maine.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:have they missed a rent payment already, and are they likely to miss the next one? presumably they have a written lease with termination clauses - would they be happy sharing them? glancing around with maine they have to specify the termination reason, but if they've already missed a payment and the landlord isn't complying with good faith repayment plans the situation doesn't look good Nope, they have not missed one yet. I don't know the lease terms but my understanding is that they warned ahead of time that they wouldn't be able to make rent for July and the landlord said he was going to start drafting the eviction notice instead of any sort of repayment plan. I don't believe it's rent controlled.

Cool, I also found some good Maine resources that outlined the process and how going to court works. I think I'm going to encourage them to let it go to court if only because it will give them more time in their current place while they try to figure out something new. It also looks like if they can get the money together by the 14th they would be able to stay, I know Maine requires 7 days past due before notice can be given and if they go with a 7 day notice it becomes void if the rent is payed in those 7 days. You guys at least made me feel better about the advice I'm giving them and what I've been finding online. Edit: Getting banned for making GBS threads in the landlord thread is good praxis but so is taking it over for advice on how to dodge landlords.

Thanks for the unemployment advice, lamprey. I'm also digging into what rent assistance programs are available to them too.

I'm starting to think we're the idiots for expecting a subforum who's most popular thread is just attacking and mocking a man for having some sort of horrible self-control problem to be better than that. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
