This couple is about to have a baby and there's no room for me -- but it's my place!
  • I'd have to say differently

    He really needs to talk to a lawyer. Not you. Not your friend, but a lawyer with experience in his jurisdiction. No matter what he believes they are not his friends. They are his enemies who are trying to throw him out of the place he was living in first.

    Is the lease in his name? Are there contracts? What is signed? Whose name is on the checks that go to the landlord? What does landlord-tenant law say in the State he lives in? If he can legally throw them out more power to him. Yes, it will be tough on the baby, but if they found one sucker before they can find another one or do something honest for a change. If not, then no matter if money is "tight". He can cause them enough grief to force them to cover his expenses.

    They betrayed someone who did them good. Screw 'em.
