I'm really scared

Carol, hugs to you! The idea of being homeless is always frightening, and a very big deal. Do you have friends or family who you could live with until you find something else? Do you have children? A vehicle? Check with your local churches, shelters, and state aid places to explore every avenue you can before any more time goes by. My prayers for you. Karen

I'm so sorry winterose! Are there any shelters where you can stay? What about funds or agencies, etc to help you find a place at least temporarily until you get on your feet? Have you tried a church to see if they may can help you or give you some suggestions? I will pray for you! God will take care of you. ~Spring

Don't worry. It's only June 2nd and if you have a place to stay til the end of thye month, and you really look every day, you should be able to find something. It may not be right near where you live now and it may not be as nice as you have now. So even if it's 5 or 10 miles from where you are now, it's better than not having anywhere. And if it's not as nice, it will probably cost less than what you're paying now. That would give you more money every month. Also, go on the internet and pick up one of those free apartment listings. I wouldn't be surprised if you found something in two weeks!

I know how you must be feeling, winterose, but you need a plan. You might have to go through a realtor. You might also have to adjust some of your requirements for a new place. With my last move I had to downsize considerably! Also, in the past I've found that we usually know someone who knows of a good place to move, so talk to people you know. Hope this helps.

I don't blame you at all for being scared. I know you have been looking for a different place to move for a long time now and it makes it even harder for you because of your health problems and no vehicle. If you do not find a place in time is there anyone you know who could store your things and you could stay with friends or realatives until you do find a place? I have been in times where I just knew there was no way out then things do get better and I have also been told that we are never given more than we can handle. Please keep us informed and take care of yourself.

I am sorry. I am wondering how your fear is helping you to find a place to live. I can picture that you will find a place better than the one you live in for less money. You will find a place that has a wonderful landlord and this will bring you great joy. You will find this place if you let go of the fear. You will find this place in the right time period so that there is no delay in a prompt move. One time I looked and looked for a place to live. Time was running out. On the last day that I had to find a place, I got lost on a street. As I turned the corner, someone was putting up a sign that said "for rent." It was all I dreamed of for a place to live. It felt like home immediately. It was centrally located to all the places I needed to be near. The neighbors were lovely. God bless you in all of this.

Check with various Churches, charities etc near you. Relate the issue and someone may be of help one way or another. Try Salvation Army if they have them in your area as well. They helped me in the past with free nights at a local Hotel many years ago. Good luck as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi Winterose, I am so sorry to hear that. I was born in Canada, I thought things would have changed by now. There must be some place you could go??? Did you think of asking the Landlord if you could stay??? Wishing you all the best. Good luck.

Has he taken you to court for eviction yet? I have been in your position once. I will pray for you but tell me your answer.

So, why won't you sign a new lease? Scarey. Out on the street as aposed to signing a new lease. I guess I am confused as to your way of thinking. Why would you be aposed. Has the landlord been unfare or is the place in need of repair. I guess that is the only thing I can think of that would make me not want to continue living there. I hope it turns out okay for you. Scarey stuff.

If I were in you're position, I would contact the people who run the low income houseing and see if I could get into a rent controlled apartment. If all else fails go to a women's shelter with the kids. What type of income are you on? If you are on food stamps or any other kind of government assistance, then I'd start calling those agencies to see if they have any ideas. Contact the United Way, they can sometimes help with situations like this. I'm wondering, why did you decide not to renew the lease if you didn't have anything else lined up? What were you planning on doing?

Did you give your intent to move in writing? In order for it to be legal you have to give it in writing. As for being on the street my suggestion is to talk to your landlord and see if they have another place that you could rent from them or if they know of any other places. Not to mention you could always do a month to month till you find a new place. I know that in this time its hard to find a place. I am stuck in a house I cant really afford because I am afraid to get stuck in the same spot your in. My prayers go out to you. I hope that your able to work it out. Good luck.

Gosh, this economic recession really taking people out of street for nothing. People just couldn't keep up their payment on many bills, especially their rents and utility bills. Hopefully, you will find aids anytime soon. I hope that the government will give you a hand.

If it gets to close you might have to sell some furniture so that is not put on the street :( Hopefully you can find something soon!

So sorry what about boyfriend can he help you find aplace!

oh thats terrible. thats just wrong. dont they have any laws over there to protect you as long as you pay your rent? i think here as long as you pay your rent they cant kick you out unless theres been some terrible things done around or to the residence. i wish you could have come lived with me but now i live with son and his crappy gf. to bad you wasnt his gf.i've been praying but sometimes i guess it dont work.

I'm sorry to learn of this! Don't fret too much, I know it's scary but things have a way of working out and you've got a lot of friends here who will be praying for you. You've got Springlady on your side, so I'm confident it will be allright. Hang in there, and whatever you do, don't lose hope.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you will find some place or maybe your landlord will change their mind and let you stay there.

Where I live they have storage sheds you can rent to put your furniture. I think you have to pay monthly. For now what I would try is put my stuff in storage. I would rent a hotel or motel room by the week. You can stay there while you continue to look for another place. As for transportation, I do not have a car either I use public transportation (bus), taxi cabs, and I walk. You could rent a U- Haul to move your stuff into storage. As for the motel don't tell them what you are up to just keep paying every week until you find a place. You could also move to different hotels or motels every couple of weeks if you want. That is what I would do if I was in your situation. Just keep looking for a place and don't give up.

Hi Carol,I'm sorry that this is happeningto you I hope you will find a place before that month is over. What I normaly do when I get stressed I try to relax so I can think straight about what is going on and what are my options. There should be something you coud do or someone that can help you and since you are stressed and depresed you might not see the answer. If you are religous pray until you feal better and with you head clear and if you are not just try to relax so you can think straight. I will also praye for you so you coud find the answer to all your curent problem. Remember that there is always alwyas a rainbow after a storm.:)
