What do you think abut this situation?

I rent a house and have rented out the basement to another person. He was paying for a while but stoped paying so I paid the entire rent so that I did not get kicked out of the house. My house mate's mother owns the house (or the bank does) and she refused to tell her mother about this (I did not have a way to get in touch with her mother as she lives out of state). Well I finally told my house mate that I was not going to pay any more for the free loader downstairs. Well finally her mother comes up here to see what is going on and to hire a lawyer to get the freeloader out. It kept getting pushed back and pushed back by several months. So when we went into housing court they told him that he had a month and a half to get out and that he did not have to pay anything and his record would not show that he had defaulted on his rent. Other people that do not pay for a month or two get kicked out within a month and they have records on then plus they try to collect the back rent. What do you think of this "fairness" in the court system.

Wow, your housemate is so lucky he is living with a free rent. He should stepped out of the house if he cannot afford to pay his rent. It is unfair that you have to pay the entire house and he is roaming around for free. Does your housemate has a job?

There are two freeloader in this house, one that lives upstairs with me (her mother own's the house) and the other who lives downstairs. I have been paying for everything for the one that live upstairs and the rent plus the utilities for the freeloader downstairs. I am trying to buy a house so that I can get away from both of these freeloaders. The guy that lives downstairs has a good with the VA hospital and I go to that VA hos[pital for my medical attention. He should be helping disabled vets and not taking advantage of them like he is doing to me.
