She lost her job, I wonder why. Single mother with 2 little kids? Might have missed to much time. In the wilds of Colorado? Business closes and it's the only horse in a one horse town? Tough spot to be in with no family or friends to form a support group.
Now what's a landlord to do? If tenents don't pay the rent, how will he pay the mortgage? If Catwoman goes into hock to buy a rental property and the tenant doesn't pay, she's up a creek without a paddle.
Sad story,...real shame for her and the kids.
Is it my problem? No.
Who knows, Bruce? One could come up with a thousand equally plausible stories. I live in a funny sort of place. Its a small town in the mounains with a city near by. In my town the jobs vanish after labor day weekend. I agree, the landlord has bills of his own to pay - most of 'em aren't in to act as charities. It's a difference in philosophy. Let's just say hypothetically she did loose her job because of too much time out with the kids. I'd say that as a society, we'd be better off making low cost, decent day care more available. That means one more productive person in the work force and fewer unsupervised kids out on the streets getting into God only knows what trouble.
