Talk about bad timing.
Been in London for a little over a month now with my hopes of finding a job dwindling by the day.
I finally catch a break and get a crappy events servicing job. Not exactly what I would prefer but something is something.
Only to be told by Bill, the dude that runs the place where I'm staying, that if I can't pay the rent by tonight I have to move out by tomorrow.
Talk about bad timing.
I know, I know. I owe rent. But it just isn't fair that other people that have been staying here have ran up a whole month and even more worth of rent. And I owe two weeks. So he kicks me and the bf out for not having paid rent for two weeks which ok i could understand under different circumstances, but not when he's allowed other people to stay here for 2 months without having paid rent and badger them only when it's gotten to that point.
I mean, two weeks vs. two months??
Fucking unbelievable.
And the worst part of it?
We just did groceries today!
So now we have to haul all our shit around all of fucking London Town, and bags of food to top it off.
I can't tell my parents back home because they wouldn't be able to help me out even if they could and I don't want to give up and go home because then I'd feel like the biggest fuck up.
So I have nowhere to go.
Not a clue.
Because the reason "Bill" kicked us out is because we didn't have the money to pay, and therefore don't have the money to stay elsewhere.
So it's come down to us having to call a shelter first thing in the morning and trying our luck there. At least temporarily.
I'm a homeless person with a job...hahaha as bad as the situation is, that just sounds funny. Because it's the truth.
So anyways....any words...anyone??

i wish i had time to research london landlord tenant law. states side u need a warrant of eviction to remove a person's property. even more so the threat coming on a sunday. enlgish law is intertwined w/ christian law. i'd bet money that a landlord can't evict u on a sunday. i would call a housing authority in the morning, make sure this landlord isn't running u around.
otherwise, goodluck.
