If someone asked you would you let them....

Unfortunately, as cruel as it sounds, I wouldn't let anybody I don't know into my house. It's just too dangerous.

wow this sounds like a horror movie story ahah i dont know. maybe i would give a chance to the lady. but first i would investigate if she really lived in this house before me. if it was true then i would let her stay. but i would go to a hotel or something while she was there^^ and she would pay for the expenses right? anyway maybe i would let her stay cause maybe it was just a wish she had without any bad intention^^

Hi friend, really this situation is strange, if the lady is very old and good enough, i will let her to live in my house, as she don't have any family members as well as don't have the ability to go anywhere, so based on my humanity i will help her by taking care of her in her older days.

Honestly, I would not let her in if i am on your situation. Because I don't know her at all and maybe it is just one of tactics to robbed you. Maybe you can just set a date for her to have a dinner with you at home of course have your family be there to accompany you before that you can also try to search for her record from the police or somewhere else that can give you an idea if she is really telling the truth. It is not that you don't trust her at all you will give her a chance but you have to make sure of your safety first.

If this happened to me I would call for help as that person would clearly have some mental issues that need to be looked at. Even if I did want to help the woman in the way that she asked, I wouldn't put myself at risk.

If that was a legitimate case, the woman wasn't some creeper in disguise or psychotic serial killer or anything, I would probably let her stay. I don't know if I could let her die in my house, that would be a little too creepy for me. But she could definitely stay a few days or visit or something. But if I didn't trust the woman, I would have her leave.

I will give help (money, etc.) and told her to leave.

This kind of giving me the creeps, lol! I'm really not too trusting with strangers even if it is an old one thinking that they might have some cohorts or something, but in a way, I would surely be overwhelmed of her wanting to spend the last days in the house if she really lived in the house, but then again, it would feel awkward for me to do so.

Hello my friend actually the situation your told is impossible to happen if there was no valid reason previously like that house was her own before and soon. Now a days like in our country may be in other also never ever attempt to coming inside because may be that is modus of a bad guys. Only help we can offer is food, water and may be money.... beyond that might be impossible.

I think I would let her come in, but I would try to make her understand that she might be mistaking your house with the one she lived in and that she has big time nostalgia. With my children that would be in the house I would be very protective not knowing what she can be up too even if she is old, you can never completely trust somebody like that. If she want to die in my house well I would make understand that she in the past had sold her home to somebody else and it would create a big challenge for the one that own the house, now. And that in another hand her family ( children) if she had some left ( alive) can help her out on what her needs are at the moment.This subject I don't think would come up for say because elderly people are usually taking care of and understand the way things go unless they are a bit on the bin you know. Anyway.

Perhaps I would report it to the proper authority. It is not that I don't want her to stay but there maybe some relatives who are already looking for her.

It will be impossible because our house was new when we transferred there. lol! But for the sake of discussion, that's a very difficult question to answer. especially nowadays that people who disguised to be good but has a different plan already exists. She might have some plan of stealing something from our house. But Í'll also leave some doubts that she might be telling the truth. But since I am not confident, maybe I'll just explain to her that it will be difficult to give in to her requests because we don't know her. And that we are afraid to just let a stranger die in our house. lol. But seriously, I'll reject her request but in a polite way.

I would not want her to come in, I would not want her to die in my house and I would have problems believing her. The thing I would do is ask her for her address or telephone number and ask if she would like me to give it to someone who would help her to adjust to life's changes. If she said no I would simply shut the door.

As much as I want to help her, I think I will have to phone in an ambulance or the authorities for the hospice to help her in her remaining days. I don't have the necessary training for it, nor the medical expertise about whatever condition she might have, which is another thing. I don;t want to risk myself or my family by exposing my house to someone like her. I am not trying to be snobby here but I think before I can help others, I have to help myself and my loved ones first.

If I am in that position, I wouldn't allow it. In the first place. I don't usually talk and entertain strangers.
