Hopefully you guys can give me some good ideas...
A good friend of mine is in grad school, and is in our city this summer for her summer internship. When I found out she was coming down, I offered our guest room if she needed a place to stay for a few days while looking for an apartment, etc.
Earlier this week, I got an email asking if she could stay with us for a few days...something with her sublet, etc. Well, it turns out the guy subletting her place to her for the summer, told her she had to move out and he would refund her money. And now, of course, he''s not refunding her money...she tried to find another sublet (she''s only here through the end of the money) but that fell through and now she''s in a sketchy motel.
I offered for her to stay with us (we have a guest room /office and 2 bathrooms) but my fiance is really not psyched about her staying here for 3 weeks while we are packing up to move, getting ready for the wedding, etc. I asked if she could split up her time between our place and someone else''s, and suggested she could ask a mutual friend who I know has a guest room.
Anyways, now my fiance is not super happy (even though he said, "she can stay here if the alternative is something really sketchy") and the other friend is mad at me for suggesting that she could possibly stay with her. =( I''m just trying to help out...she is a student and very broke and I know she can''t afford to even be staying in the sketchy motel (especially since she was basically ripped off by this guy)
I want to help her...I''m not jumping up and down about sharing my place for 3 weeks either, but I feel it is the right thing to do. Magic suggestions please?
