what a stupid remark! how does that help solve the problem for the op? all it does is show your poor character and thinking. so many excuses for not lifting a finger to help someone in need by just a phone call!

Like I said, people have jobs doing just that -- it simply isn't MY job. I'm a landlord.

An why are so many sympathetic to the plight of this woman? What person lives to be 85, but has no family around her, has no friends, no church "family", etc., not to mention has made no provision for herself, so that when she reaches this point in her life, she has to rely on averitable stranger (landlord) to help her find resources? There may be more to her situation than was posted, and I'm happy to help someone who attempts to help themselves, but I'm not taking on the responsibility of a helpless, homeless 85 year old stranger in poor heath. And you aren't either, or you'd be out doing charity work instead of sitting at your computer in your free time.

what a poor excuse you present, all it takes is a phone call and you find that too difficult and troubling to do!

"I'm happy to help someone who attempts to help themselves"...so if someone falls down some stairs and break their leg...you would not help as long as that person could still call 911? What a pitiful view on life you have?

all of this is about just a phone call, how hard can that be? it's not taking on the role of a provider for the person. can't you understand what's being discuss without jumping to unfounded conclusions? it's about helping the tenant find an organization that can help. how stressful can that be to make a call or two to help someone in need?

have you ever attempted to find rent assistance? it's not as simple as making a call or two. Government assistance, after you get on the list, takes months, if not years. You go through A LOT of hoops to get on that list.
Various community organizations have different criteria. where I live, one makes them take a class before they'll talk to them. another insists the eviction has been filed before they'll even talk to them. All kinds of organizations are out there ... but weeding through and finding one to assist, and then doing to attendant paperwork and fulfilling that program's requirements is not easy.
You don't make a phone call and someone brings rent money to the landlord. I really think you're missing the point of what the other anon poster and myself are making.
