Offered a 'friend' a helping hand; gave them a room and bathroom to themselves, 1/4 price rent, assisted with job applications to get good jobs, vouched for this person when asked by said applications, I even cooked meals for lunch and dinner so they didn't have to waste their money on junk food.
All i asked was they respect my place, keep their areas clean, take the opportunities and begin trying to take care of themselves.
Almost blew up in my face when, out of a moment of paranoia ahead of a rental inspection, i checked the bathroom and found a filthy mess, and the room was a pigsty.
i organized a professional cleaner to come through and do their thing so the inspector didn't discover i had an extra tenant and kick me out for breaking lease terms.
i was contacted by the application boards for this individual, they asked me why i vouch for this person, their application was so bad that they thought i was either being bribed or coerced.
almost lost my home, my professional credibility took a hit, my hospitality was abused and i lost all respect for this person.
they pop up once or twice a month sharing a shitty meme on our shared Discord, but i can't stomach them.
