This couple is about to have a baby and there's no room for me -- but it's my place!
  • Whose name is on the lease?

    If it's in your name and you just let them live there, they've got nothing. If you changed the paperwork when they moved in, then it gets complicated.

    The other question is: can you still not afford this apartment by yourself? How long could you afford to live there by yourself? If you currently can't afford it by yourself, maybe it would be better to leave it to them and find your own place?
